Caring For Your Yard

Caring for Your Yard

You have a beautiful new landscape that you love. Now—how to care for it and keep it looking fresh? Check out our tips on caring for your yard below.

Watering

  • Early morning is the best time for watering followed by evening, as the cooler temperatures minimize evaporation. 
  • Use a sprinkler with a low spray height. 
  • Water your yard less often but for longer periods of time to encourage deep root growth of your new plantings. If you have an irrigation system make sure you are familiar with the proper usage and care the system requires. Please call the installer with any questions you may have.

Caring for Sod & Lawns 

Try to stay off your new lawn as much as possible for the first few weeks especially after rain or watering. Water everyday for the first week; water every second day for the second week. Make sure the soil underneath is moist, not dry or muddy. You want your lawn to be rooted. Do a check on the corner of your lawn to see if you can lift it easily. If it is difficult to lift, that means the grass is rooting. Once the grass is rooted you can then walk on it and give your lawn it’s first mow.

"I can’t think of a thing that we would do differently. There was a flow to the work an the progression was amazing to watch. The crew was great and we were pleased to see that they cleaned up at the end of each day (which made our neighbours very happy as well). Andreas was great to work with and made plant selections for our yard knowing that neither my husband nor I have ‘green thumbs’. As a result we are grateful to Andreas for walking us through our new yard and giving us advice on care and maintenance."
