GREENMAN LAWN CARE RECOMMENDATIONS:

-Normally during the warm season, fescue lawns need one to one and a half inches of water a week in addition to average rainfall. A typical irrigation system can put this amount of water down when set to run every other morning for usually, but not always, 10-30 minutes a zone depending on coverage and water pressure. This typical watering practice promotes deeper root development and is meant to keep your lawn healthy through the heat of summer.

-After your newly seeded fescue Lawn is completed we recommend watering three times a day every day of the week, but only long enough each time to keep the seed wet. It is important to turn the water off as soon as you begin to see it pool on the surface because watering to the point of creating run off can shift or flood your new seed. The ground should be saturated with water just enough for the seed to stay damp, but it should not reach the point of running off. Sloped or bare areas in your yard may need to be watered a bit more than the rest of it; this includes underneath large trees.

-When estimating how much to water, it is useful to run your system prior to your newly seeded fescue lawn being put down so you know how long it takes for your ground to get wet, but not puddling.

***On average, a good starting point is running each irrigation zone for about five-eight minutes around dawn, midday, and late afternoon.

-It is important to start watering your newly seeded fescue Lawn as quickly after aeration and seeding as possible to begin encouraging germination. Dry seed cannot germinate, and while rainfall will get some of your grass to grow, it will not be as effective as a proper watering routine.

-Once all of your seed has germinated and the newly seeded fescue lawn has reached a height of about two inches, which occurs approximately 28 days after your aeration and seeding service depending on how quickly your seed begins germinating, it is safe to return to the normal watering routine described above. Do not stop watering all together until the end of the growing season when it is time to winterize your irrigation system. Water is still necessary to the health of your lawn for as long as the grass wants to grow.

Irrigation Timer-

-Set to run 2-3 times a day (Will need to set multiple start times on your controller). If you need help with this please let us know asap.

***On average, a good starting point is running each irrigation zone for about five-eight minutes around dawn, midday, and late afternoon.

-Make sure NO pooling of water on the surface happens.

- Keep a close eye on seed and soil moisture during the germination process.

- DO NOT LET IT DRY OUT.

WEEK 1- water 3 times a day, more if it is super windy or hot out.

WEEK 2- water 2x a day

WEEK 3 -water 2x a day

***Once the grass seeds germinate, you should water for a longer period once a day.

WEEK 4- water 1x a day Morning is best.

WEEK 5 and on- The frequency of watering should slowly reduce to a long soak of about 25-40 minutes on alternate days then cut down to 2-3 days a week. The aim of watering after germination is to assist the grass to form deeper roots. For this, less frequent watering is required.
