MAINTENANCE

WATERING:

WEEK 1: It is critical to water new turf the first 7 days. New sod requires 3/4” to 1-1/4” of water per day for the first 7 days. Total amount should be split up over 4 or 5 watering periods each day.
The warmer the temperature the more water you need to apply!
WEEK 2: After the first 7 days, water at the rate of 1/4” to 1/2” per day for 9 days, split up over 1 to 3 watering periods per day.
WEEK 3: If watering restrictions allow, water 1/4” per day every other day for 7 days. After the first two or three weeks, revert to watering 1-2 times per week as local watering restrictions allow. Sandy soil requires more frequent watering than clay soil. Special attention should be paid to slopes and mounds where runoff occurs. More frequent, shorter watering may be necessary in such locations.

FERTILIZATION:

Apply Turfmaster high phosphorous fertilizer at time of installation to promote root production. Follow up with Turfmaster blended fertilizers 2 to 3 times per year. Light green is an indication that your lawn needs fertilizer.

MOWING:

Mow 10 days to 2 weeks after installation. Mow to a height of 2 to 3-1/2 inches. Turf Master EnviroturfTM should be mowed about once
a week. Never mow more than one-third of the blade at one time, as it
may injure the plant.

DISEASES & INSECTS:

Tall Fescue is highly resistant to common disease and insect problems. The endophytes in the crown produce toxins that kill or repel insects that feed on turf. The appearance of brown spots may be a result of a watering problem. If brown spots remain after adjusting your watering routine, a disease may be present.
