Watering

• First 2 Weeks: Light watering 2–3 times per day (especially in hot weather) to keep the mulch layer moist, not soggy.

• Weeks 3–4: Reduce to once per day or every second day as the seedlings begin to take root.

• Ongoing: Water deeply 2–3 times a week depending on rainfall and climate. Avoid overwatering.

Foot Traffic

• Limit activity on newly treated areas for at least 4–6 weeks.

• Walking, driving, or heavy machinery can damage seedlings or shift mulch before roots are established.

Mowing

• Wait until grass reaches around 7–10cm high before mowing.

• Ensure mower blades are sharp and never cut more than 1/3 of the grass height in a single mow.

• Avoid mowing during wet conditions.

Fertilising

• If required, a follow-up fertiliser application can be done 4–6 weeks after germination.

• Use a balanced, slow-release fertiliser suitable for your grass species and soil type.

• Avoid over-fertilising to prevent burning or runoff.

Weed Control

• Some weed presence is normal in the early stages — they often sprout faster than grass.

• Once the lawn thickens, weeds will naturally reduce.

• Avoid herbicides in the first 8–12 weeks unless directed by a professional.
