To get the best out of your new lawn

• Give your newly seeded lawn a light watering three times a day.
• After week two, water once each day in the morning only.
• When the grass blades are 10cm tall you can mow your lawn.
• Only remove the top 3cm for the first few cuttings.
• Do not cut the lawn below 5cm tall during summer to avoid burn-off.
• Fertiliser has been spread with the hydroseeding mix so no further fertiliser should be needed until your lawn is about five weeks old.
• Refertilise the lawn if you notice any discoloration. This may be required as early as 4 weeks after germination, depending on the quality of the soil.
