How to Plant

Grass should be planted within two days after delivery. Loosen the soil in the designated area to a depth of 50-100 mm. Remove all unwanted vegetation, stones etc. Spread some fertilizer or compost over the loosened area and work and rake in lightly.

Super-phosphate is usually a good initial root booster. Make sure that the area is level before planting and water lightly.

Make sure the soil is not too wet, otherwise it will be too muddy while planting. Lay out lawn sod’s tightly together on prepared area and roll with light roller to ensure good ground contact. Water thoroughly for the first week. Thereafter water every second day for the second week. Scale down to twice a week thereafter.

Preferably do not mow within the first two weeks after planting.

Never remove more than one third of the grass plant when Mowing

once properly settled, lawn could be fertilized again with a good lawn fertilizer or compost every 6 – 12 weeks during growing

season, to ensure a thick, healthy green lawn.

Enjoy your lawn!
