Rosemont Watering Instructions

For a newly SEEDED lawn:

• Keep seeds evenly moist
• Avoid flooding the seed as it will wash away
• Water daily for about 20 minutes
• Sunny spots may need additional watering
• Water 2x per day for faster germination
• Stay off seeded area until established
• Once seed germinates, continue to water, keeping soil moist but not soggy
• Once cooler temperatures slow the growth, watering can stop

For a newly SODDED lawn:

• Keep it watered daily for 45 minutes to an hour each morning, unless we get a saturating rain
• Water 2x per day if temperatures are over 80 degrees
• Do this for the first 3-4 weeks and then 3 times per week for the rest of the season
• Stay off of it for the first two weeks to give it a chance to take root
• Wait 2-3 weeks to mow it for the first time and be sure to set your mower to a high setting and bag the grass clippings
