Bluegrass Lawn Maintenance
We recommend the following tips for a healthy lawn:
- Watering
- Frequent shallow watering should be avoided
- Water once or twice a week in the absence of rain
- Give the lawn at least one inch of water – usually achieved in one hour with a sprinkler system
- Mowing
- Mow at least once weekly
- Keep mower setting high – never mow closer than 1 ½” to 2 ½”
- Liming
- Can be done anytime of the year – fall season is recommended though
- Apply 50 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft. once per year
- Fertilizing
- Apply 10 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft. once per year
- Ideally:
- 10 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. of 25-5-5 and 30% SCU in late May
- 10 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. of 12-18-12 and 40% SCU in late July
- In case of no rain within 24 hours of fertilizing, water thoroughly
- Hydro Seeding
- Keep traffic away for at least 8 weeks
- Light watering, twice daily works best, but beware of run off.
- Once turf is established (no bare soil visible, usually 6 weeks) proceed as with sod
