Frequency: Water lightly but frequently to maintain consistent moisture. Aim for 4 to 6 times daily for the first two weeks, depending on the weather conditions.
Duration: Each watering session should be short—about 5 to 10 minutes. The goal is to keep the top layer of soil moist, not saturated.

Time of Day: Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to water, to reduce evaporation losses. Avoid watering in the heat of the day or late at night when the water can sit, potentially causing disease.develop innovative solutions that address the challenges facing our environment today.

Lawn Mowing
Fertilize
Nutrient Depletion: The initial fertilizer applied with the hydroseed mix is designed to support the new seedlings for the first few weeks. By the 30-day mark, these nutrients have largely been depleted, and the growing grass will need additional nutrients to continue developing strong roots and blades.
Root Development: After germination
Nutrient Depletion: The initial fertilizer applied with the hydroseed mix is designed to support the new seedlings for the first few weeks. By the 30-day mark, these nutrients have largely been depleted, and the growing grass will need additional nutrients to continue developing strong roots and blades.
Root Development: After germination, the grass plants are establishing their root systems. A balanced fertilizer promotes robust root growth, which is essential for nutrient and water uptake and helps the lawn resist drought and other stresses.
Sustained Growth: The first month of growth uses a lot of the seed's stored energy. Fertilizing provides the necessary macro and micronutrients for sustained growth and helps to build up the energy reserves of the grass plants.
Thickening the Lawn: As the grass matures, it begins to thicken. Fertilization supports this tillering process (where new shoots grow from the base of the plant), which is crucial for a full, dense lawn that can outcompete weeds.
Recovery from Stress: The early stages of a lawn's life can be stressful due to the potential for disease, insect damage, and competition from weeds. Proper fertilization helps the lawn recover from these stresses and become more resilient.
Color and Health Maintenance: Fertilizers contain nitrogen, which is a key nutrient for maintaining the green color and overall health of the lawn.initiative, our team has the expertise and experience to help you achieve your goals.

Wait for the Right Height
Initial Length: Wait until your new grass is 3-4 inches tall before mowing for the first time. Mowing too soon can pull up tender shoots and roots that have not yet established.

Wait for the Right Height
Initial Length: Wait until your new grass is 3-4 inches tall before mowing for the first time. Mowing too soon can pull up tender shoots and roots that have not yet established.
Mower Preparation
Blade Sharpness: Ensure the mower blades are sharp to provide a clean cut. Dull blades can tear the grass, leading to stress and disease.
Cleanliness: Clean the underside of the mower to prevent disease spread.
Settings: Set the mower to its highest setting to avoid cutting too much at once, which can stress the grass.
Mowing Technique
Gentle Approach: Mow when the ground is dry to avoid damaging the sod with the mower wheels. If the grass is wet, wait for it to dry.
Grass Height: Cut only the top 1/3 of the grass blades. Cutting more can shock the grass and impair root growth.
Clippings: Leave the clippings on the lawn unless they are very thick; they return nutrients to the soil as they decompose.
Direction: Change your mowing pattern each time to encourage upright growth and prevent forming ruts in the soil.
Frequency: Initially, mow frequently enough that you are only removing the top third of the grass. This may mean mowing every 5-7 days.
Post-Mowing Care
Watering: After mowing, water the lawn to help it recover from the stress of cutting. This is especially important for new grass.
Fertilizing: Do not apply fertilizer immediately before or after mowing. Wait for a few days after mowing before fertilizing to prevent burning the grass.
