Installation of Your New Lawn
After your area has been prepared, the JB professionals will spray on the seed mixture best suited for your application. The grass will begin to come up in approximately 14 days depending on soil temperature and moisture.
Maintaining Your New Lawn
Your lawn has just been professionally hydroseeded by JB Instant Lawn. In order to give you a beautiful JB Lawn we have taken special care to use only the finest materials available. We recommend the following instructions to maintain a lush healthy lawn.
- Germination
The first blades of grass should appear approximately 14 days after planting. The entire germination process will take approximately 30 days to complete. Early spring or late fall planting may take longer. Germination time will also be directly affected by soil temperature, air temperature and moisture.
- Watering
Do not allow the hydroseeded area to dry out for at least two weeks after planting. Water enough to keep the soil moist at all times. Increase watering time during hot and windy weather. As your lawn matures, deeper, less frequent watering at the rate of 1 inch total per week is advised. It is best to water during daylight hours.
- Mowing
Mow your lawn as soon as grass blades are about 3 inches tall. Under most conditions, this should take about 30 days. Make sure that mower blades are sharp and never cut off more than 1/3 of the blade at each mowing. Continue to mow as needed to a height of 1½ to 2 inches. The removal of all clippings is recommended.
- Fertilizing
It is critical to fertilize your lawn 30 days after installation. It is recommended to fertilize every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season of February to November. Use a balanced slow release fertilizer and apply per manufacturer recommendations.
- Weed Control
Weeds can come from imported topsoil, the existing soil, or from nearby areas. If weeds appear, do not apply weed control products for 3 months after hydroseeding. At that time, weeds may be spot sprayed with a safe herbicide.
