How to Care for Your Newly Established Hydro-Seed Lawn

Lawn Fertilization

You can not expect your newly established lawn to look beautiful if you stress it with improper maintenance. We recommend the use of a professional Lawn Care company for the care and fertilizing of your new lawn.

Lawn Mowing

Mow your new lawn when any grasses reach approximately 3". Keep your lawn height to about 1-1/2" in spring and fall and approximately 2-1/2" during the hot weather. Raising mower heights during hot weather will preserve moisture and cause less visual mowing damage. Keep your blade sharp to minimize leaf stress. Catch your clippings to prevent thatch buildup and weed seed growth from existing weeds.

Weed Control

Since weed seeds are found in all imported topsoil and in your existing soil, we are not responsible for any weed growth which may appear in your new lawn. Our seed is tested and certified weed free by our supplier using State of Washington standards. Most weeds will soon disappear with proper maintenance.
