Your Lawn Care Guide

Proper lawn care is about more than just appearance — it’s the key to keeping your grass healthy, durable, and long-lasting. A well-cared-for lawn develops deep roots, resists weeds, and stands up to heavy use. Consistent watering, mowing, and fertilizing not only protect the investment you’ve made in hydroseeding, but also create a green space you can enjoy for years to come. With the right care, your lawn becomes stronger, healthier, and more resilient against weather and wear.

Lawn Sprinkler in Action

1.  Watering your Lawn

  • Begin watering the day after the hydroseeding is applied.

  • Keep the top layer of soil consistently moist, but not soggy.

  • Water lightly 2–4 times per day for the first 2–3 weeks, depending on weather.

    • Each watering session should last about 10–20 minutes, or until the top 1/4 inch of soil is damp.

  • As grass begins to grow, reduce watering frequency but increase depth — for example, water once daily for 20–30 minutes instead of several shorter sessions.

  • ​

* Pro Tip: If water is pooling or running off, you’re watering too long. If the soil surface dries out or forms cracks, water longer.

2.  Limiting Traffic

  • Avoid walking, playing, or driving equipment on the seeded area.

  • Foot traffic can damage tender seedlings before roots are established.

  • Keep pets and children off the lawn until mowing is possible.

3.  First Mowing

  • Mow for the first time when the grass reaches 3–4 inches tall.

  • Make sure the soil is firm and dry to prevent ruts.

  • Use sharp mower blades and cut no more than 1/3 of the grass height.

4. Fertizling the Lawn

  • Your lawn will need a starter fertilizer about 4–6 weeks after hydroseeding.

  • Choose a fertilizer high in nitrogen to encourage strong growth.

  • Repeat feedings every 6–8 weeks during the growing season, or follow the fertilizer plan we recommend.

5.  Ongoing Care

  • Water deeply 2–3 times per week once the lawn is established.

  • Mow regularly, keeping grass around 3 inches to promote root health.

  • Apply seasonal fertilizer and weed control as needed.

  • Overseed thin spots in the fall or spring to maintain a thick, even lawn.

    • We offer mulch and seed mix to be purchase following years​

Remember ....

A hydroseeded lawn takes time, patience, and consistent care, but with the right steps, you’ll enjoy a lush, durable lawn for years to come.
