Establishing a new lawn once you have laid a new lawn the next part of the
\nprocess of creating a new lawn is to help it establish.The Key to this is
\nmoisture content in the Soil.Depending on the time of year the lawn has
\nbeen laid or seeded the new lawn will need to be watered,Ideally you are
\nlooking to Soak the lawn so that the moist or water travels down into the
\nsoil structure by at least.100mm,The idea being that this will encourage
\nthe new roots to establish themselves at a depth were in drought conditions
\nthey will be able to access any available soil moisture and hold a better
\ncolour,lots of new lawns tend to only to get enough water to penetrate the
\ntop surface and in doing so only encourage surface rooting.
\nIf the weather is dry and not freezing you new lawn will need to be soaked.
\nevery 4 days.
\nDuring and for the days after watering try not to walk on your lawn.
\nIf you have created a lawn in the Spring and the weather turns hot you might
\nneed to cover the lawn with a horticultural fleece to help stop it from
\ndrying out.
\nIn hot weather where a lawn has been created from turf grown on a clay loam
\nit is likely that the turfs with shrink leaving gaps in the lawn if the lawn
\nhas not yet rooted,then its a Simply matter of using a garden fork to push
\nand pull the turfs back together to close these gaps.
\nIf the lawn has started to root then these gaps should be filled with a top
\ndressing of 50 percent Sand,50 percent top soil and mixed with some grass
\nseed ideally the same mix as your lawn turf.
\nAs always if the weather turns frosty then stay off the lawn until the frost
\nhas thawed.
\nAs a guide lawns produced from seed Can be usable from 6 to 20 Weeks
\ndepending on the time of year the law was created,With lawns created from
\nturf if the base has been created correctly before laying they can be walked
\non within a few days and can with stand light ball games within 6 Weeks.
\nThe first cut of a new lawn is also critical whether it has been created
\nfrom turf or Seed.Ideally you should not allow the new grass to become to
\nlong,less than 35mm and for the first cut only cut it by a third of Its
\ntotal length.So if the grass is 35mm long then only cut it by 10mm, any
\nmore and the strenght of the grass will be reduced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
