Mowing
•  Mowing height should be about 2 inches.
•  Never remove more than 1/3 of the blade height at one time.
•  Mow every 5-7 days for best results.
•  Keep mower blades sharp.

Watering
•  After sod is established (10-14 days) water every 3-4 days with approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water in the early mornings. And remember to adjust water to weather conditions.  See chart in our maintenance handout.
•  Measure your watering. Since all systems vary, use cups to measure how long your system must run to deliver the correct amount of water.   

See "How to Conserve Water on your lawn" at right ->   

Fertilizing
•  Fertilize every 90 days with appropriate fertilizer.
•  Always follow directions given on the  package.
