At Invicta Lawn, we know how important it is to keep your lawn looking its best. A well-maintained lawn isn’t just about the aesthetics—it’s about creating a healthy, thriving outdoor space. To help you do just that, we’ve put together a simple maintenance plan to ensure your new lawn settles in perfectly and continues to flourish.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to keep your lawn in top condition:
Step 1: Initial Watering – The First 5 Days
For the first 5 days after installation, water your lawn for 30 minutes each day. This helps your lawn establish strong roots in the soil. Remember, this is just a guideline—if the weather is rainy or exceptionally hot, adjust watering as needed.
Tip: Keep an eye on the soil, it should stay damp but not soaked.
Step 2: Rest on Day 6
Give your lawn a break from watering on day 6. This allows the soil to settle and prepares it for the first mow.
Step 3: First Cut on Day 7
On day 7, it’s time to mow your lawn for the first time. Set your lawnmower blade to the highest setting to avoid stressing the grass, and don’t cut too short. Once you’ve mowed, start watering again for 30 minutes daily for the next four days (until day 10).
Step 4: Second Break on Day 11
Skip watering on day 11 to let the lawn settle again.
Step 5: Second Cut on Day 12
Mow your lawn again on day 12 and follow it with a watering session. After this, you’ll follow a more consistent maintenance routine to keep your lawn lush and healthy.
Ongoing Maintenance – Keep It Green and Growing
Water Regularly: Make sure the soil remains consistently damp.
Weekly Mowing: Cut the grass once a week at minimum, or twice weekly for the best results. This helps keep the lawn thick and discourages weeds.
Important: For the first two months, avoid adding lawn dressing, compost, or topsoil directly onto the new grass. Let it establish fully before any additional treatments.
