Watering of your newly seeded lawn is vital to germination and growth of grass seedlings. Maximum root establishment and growth occur when underlying soil is moist. Keeping the soil moist begins at day one since germination will not start until moisture is present. The recommended amount of water per week is approximately 1”. This is ideally accomplished by watering each section 3, 4, or 5 times a day for short intervals. The general rule of thumb, is to keep the soil moist at all times without puddling or run-off occurring. The fate of your lawn now depends on you. Proper watering techniques will result in a thick, healthy growing lawn. Negligence will result in a spotty, slow growing lawn giving a foothold to unsightly weeds. S&E Ward’s Landscaping is not responsible for a lawn that has been neglected by lack of water and/or fertilizer.
