Landscape Design Questions for Your Property

Weeks 1–2: Establishment Phase (Keep It Consistently Moist)

• Frequency: 2 to 3 times per day (e.g., early morning, mid-day, and late afternoon).
• Duration: 10 to 15 minutes per zone.
• Goal: Keep the top 2 inches of soil consistently damp without creating puddles or runoff. Never let the new turf or hydroseed dry out completely.

Weeks 3–4: Root Development Phase (Transitioning)

• Frequency: Once per day, preferably early morning (between 5:00 AM and 9:00 AM).
• Duration: 20 to 30 minutes per zone.
• Goal: Encourage the roots to reach deeper into the soil by delivering deeper, less frequent moisture.

Week 5 and Beyond: Maintenance Phase (Deep & Infrequent)

• Frequency: 2 to 3 times per week.
• Amount: 1 to 1.5 inches of total water per week (including natural rainfall).
• Goal: Promotes a deep, drought-tolerant root system.

Important Tips

• Always water early in the morning to minimize evaporation and prevent fungal disease.
• Adjust run times based on extreme heat, direct sun, or heavy rainfall.
• Keep foot traffic to an absolute minimum for the first 3 to 4 weeks.
