Questions
How often should I water a newly seeded lawn?
Water daily (more frequently in hot weather) until germination (2-3 weeks), then every 2-3 days. Use 3-5 minute sprinkler cycles to prevent seed displacement.
When should I first mow new grass?
Mow when grass reaches 3-4 inches. Use a sharp blade set to 3 inches height for the initial cut to avoid damaging new growth.
What fertilization schedule works best for new lawns?
Apply starter fertilizer at planting (without herbicide), then wait until after 3-4 mowings for weed-and-feed applications. Avoid summer fertilization to prevent grass burn.
How do I properly water new trees and shrubs?
Water deeply but infrequently, especially in Wisconsin's clay soil. Adjust frequency based on weather conditions to avoid over-watering while ensuring root establishment.
