Maintenance

Water

Water sod immediately after installation. Check by lifting a corner to see if water has penetrated through to the soil. We recommend hooking up a sprinkler to enable one section to be watered while working on the next. To check the amount of water needed, place a container near the sprinkler allowing one inch of water to collect.

Watering Schedule

Newly sodded areas should be watered every day for the first four to six days and every second or third day the following week, depending on rainfall and the season. Make sure to water all the sod.

Maintenance

Now that you have established your new Brouwer Sod lawn, it is important to follow a proper maintenance program to ensure a healthy beautiful living carpet.

Mowing

Your newly sodded lawn needs mowing only after four to seven days. Care should be taken not to mow too short (6 to 8 cm or 2″-3″ is the recommended height). Avoid leaving too many grass clippings on the lawn.

Fertilizer

Brouwer Sod is supplied to you with plenty of nutrients to get started and to make installation easy and less costly. Additional fertilizer should be applied later. Check with your local garden centre.
