ADDITIONAL CARE TIPS
• Once your grass is 1/3 taller than the recommended mowing height you
may begin mowing it.
• Avoid removing more than 1/3 of the total grass blade length at any
single mowing to keep your grass thick and healthy.
• Increase your mowing height in summer months to reduce grass stress
IMPORTANT: Applying weed control products to grass prior to seeding can
aect the seeds’ ability to grow. Be sure to read and follow all
manufacturer’s recommendations and application instructions prior to
applying any weed control products and prior to seeding. Additionally, do
not apply any weed control products to newly seeded areas until grass is
established and has been mowed at least 3 or 4 times. Once newly seeded
areas are established, you can begin a regular feeding schedule.
