How to care for new lawn: 3 tips you need to know
Whether you are starting fresh on a patch of unhealthy grass or establishing an entirely new lawn, there are three important things you need to know to help your new lawn succeed in those first weeks of tender growth.
- With a new lawn, watering is key to success. Both insufficient water and overwatering can harm the young plants. Baby grass needs easy access to plenty of water while it works to establish a substantial, healthy root structure. You want the top layer of soil to stay moist but never soggy. Soil and weather conditions will determine how often you will need to water in those first crucial weeks.
- Minimize foot traffic for the first three weeks. That means try to avoid walking on the grass and keep kids and pets clear. The young plants are putting all their energy into developing their roots. If the plants are damaged during this delicate time, you are likely to see the scars on your new lawn. Once the plants are sturdy they will be a durable cushion for play.
- Don’t mow until your newly established baby grass has reached 3-4 inches in height. Once the grass is happily growing, you can mow to help it look neat, but also to encourage regeneration and a thick, lush lawn that will keep weeds at bay.
It’s also important to make sure the nutrient levels in your soil are sufficient for healthy root growth and keep the new grass free from any debris that will block sun exposure or lead to fungus, mold, or rot.
