Watering

• New turf should be watered as soon as possible after being installed.
• When watering the new turf should be thoroughly soaked so the turf is wet but also so the dirt below it is soaked allowing the roots to grow into soft dirt.  
• The turf should be thoroughly soaked for the first couple of weeks.  
• During hot weather frequent light waterings are suggested until when you pull at the turf that you can see that the turf has rooted down.
• After that the turf can be watered as a normal lawn would be watered.

The best time to water is in the early morning so less water is lost by evaporation.  The worst time to water is in the evening because the lawns stay wet at night, which encourages disease and fungus development.  Lawns watered too frequently tend to develop shallow root systems which may make them more susceptible to grub damage and heat / drought stress.

Mowing

• After the turf is installed wait 10 to 14 days to do your first mowing. 
• Let the lawn dry like you normally would before you mow so you avoid making tracks.
• Before mowing make sure the mower is set on the highest setting so you don't scalp the plant sending it into shock.
• Wait a week and mow it again then resume your normal mowing schedule.

• We recommend mowing to commence when the grass reaches about 6cm.  
• Set you mower to a cutting height of between 3 - 5 cm depending upon the time of year.  
• By setting the mower 2 cm higher in the Winter (May, June, July and August) you will help keep to reduce stress on the turf.
