Once we’ve laid our new lawn, we must do something else to ensure it stays in good condition. After all, it is important to care for new grass properly.

Once again, we tend to make certain mistakes when we think that we have already done enough and that we must wait for our beautiful grass to grow and turn green. However, the most important thing about aftercare is taking care of it. Let’s remember that it is a living plant.

Once we feel the roots start to sink and watering becomes less essential, the next stage is to move on to a different form of aftercare.

In these cases, it is suggested that a good fertilizer is applied after approximately 6 to 8 weeks. It should be a fertilizer rich in Magnesium Oxide, Iron and Phosphorus to contribute to the colour and development of healthy roots.

For example, grasses such as dwarf rye, the fertilizer used and the frequency of fertilization should be a part of the care program for that type of grass. Likewise, it is important to remember that when we cut and remove clippings, we remove some food and water from our newly laid or sown grass.

Other tips for the aftercare of our new lawn

The following are some additional tips for aftercare of our new lawn:

1. We must leave the grass a little higher than in the last cut. 20 to 30 mm will keep our grass much healthier.
2. We must make the cuts more frequently.
3. It is advisable to aerate the lawn with a rake after approximately six months (between October and March). It will allow moisture to penetrate through the grass. It will also help increase the amount of soil bacteria and oxygen levels.

Natural grass rolls

The applications of natural grass rolls and sods are many. Let us first remember that sod grass is nothing more than a ‘pre-cultivated’ grass prepared for immediate installation and enjoyment.

This type of grass installation has grown a lot in recent years because it offers many advantages compared to grass implantation through ‘seeding’. Although for large areas, the traditional method is more economical, for small facilities or surfaces, the installation of sod has more advantages.

Our sod grass is grown in a controlled manner and with full guarantee. Its crop is never less than one year of maturity; it is then when it is plucked and sent to our facilities for proper outdoor storage, where it acclimatizes and is supplied to the client in the agreed quantities and times.
