Sod - It is important to begin watering newly installed sod within 30 minutes of it being laid on the soil. Apply at least one inch of water so that the soil beneath the turf is soaked. Daily watering of is essential during the first two weeks.

New Seed - We recommend to be watered every other day until germination, at which point watering should continue frequently enough to complete establishment of lawn area.

General Watering - Whenever possible, water lawn in the early morning to maximize the turfs own growing cycle. Try to avoid late night watering.

Deciduous Shrubs/Trees - We recommend to be watered every other day for two weeks, after that point, a schedule of every three days is best for the next six weeks. Watering will need to continue once a week or until established. Again, this may need to be adjusted depending on weather conditions.

Evergreen Shrubs/Trees - We recommend to be watered every other day for the first two weeks, after that point a schedule of every three days is best for the next six weeks.

It is also critical that new Evergreen shrubs and trees be watered once a week in the month of October and November. This will help against winter damage.
