Watering schedule, Mowing and Maintenance
The newly installed turf will need to be watered daily
for the first week. During the second week, every second
day is usually sufficient. The quantity will depend on
temperature, time of year, and soil conditions. The sod
should not get so dry as to discolor or curl on edges,
nor should it be so wet as to be under water or mushy
for any length of time.
Your new ZANDER SOD should need
mowing in 7-10 days. It is important not to let the
grass plant get too long. When mowing, never remove more
that 1/3 of the plant. Ideal cutting height is 4-7 cm
(1½ - 2½”). If using a gas powered mower, keep motor
idling the first time or two, so as not to pull turf up
off the ground. BE SURE THAT YOUR MOWER IS SHARP FOR A
NICE CLEAN CUT.
Zander Sod arrives on your site at
optimum nutrient levels. A fertilizer program could be
implemented 30-60 days after installation. Consult your
local garden center or lawn maintenance company for
local recommendations.
If your previous lawn (or your neighbour’s) has had
insect problems, monitor your turf carefully. Control
measures may be necessary.
