Elite Lawn Repair - Simple Aftercare Instructions for Success

Congratulations on Your New Lawn!

Thank you for trusting Elite Lawn Repair to bring your lawn back to life! To ensure the best possible results, please follow these simple aftercare instructions.

 Watering Schedule

First 3 Weeks:

• Lightly water your lawn 1–2 times daily to keep the soil consistently moist.

• Short, frequent watering is key. Aim for 5–10 minutes per zone.

• If it rains, you can skip a watering session.

After 3 Weeks:

• Transition to deeper, less frequent watering (2–3 times per week).

• Water for 20–30 minutes per zone to encourage deeper root growth.

 Mowing

• Do not mow until the new grass reaches 4 inches tall.

• Set your mower blade high and only cut down to 3 inches.

• Always use a sharp mower blade to prevent tearing the new grass.

🌾 Fertilizer and Weed Control

• No additional fertilizer is needed for at least 6–8 weeks after overseeding.

• Do not apply weed control (herbicides) until new grass is fully established (typically after 2 mowings).

• Applying weed control too early can damage or kill new grass seedlings.

📈 What to Expect

• You should see initial germination within 7–14 days (weather dependent).

• Full thickening and filling in typically takes 4–8 weeks.

• Some bare spots may need extra time or a second overseed later in the season.

⚡ Quick Tips for Best Results

• Avoid heavy foot traffic on new grass for the first month.

• Lightly rake any puddled areas after heavy rain to prevent seed clumping.

• Stay patient! New lawns take time, but following these steps ensures success.
