INSTALLATION​ ​AND​ ​LAWN​ ​CARE Lawn​ ​Installation​ ​and​ ​Care.​ ​How​ ​to​ ​maintain​ ​a​ ​healthly​ ​lawn.​ ​Lawn​ ​care​ ​information​ ​from​ ​the experts​ ​at​ ​Auckland​ ​Landscape​ ​Supplies​ ​and​ ​Rolawn. 1. Spray​ ​with​ ​roundup​ ​to​ ​kill​ ​any​ ​existing​ ​vegetation.​ ​This​ ​is​ ​especially​ ​important​ ​if​ ​difficult to​ ​control​ ​grass​ ​weeds​ ​like​ ​paspalum,​ ​kikuya​ ​or​ ​twitch​ ​are​ ​present. 2. Roto-till​ ​or​ ​spade​ ​the​ ​ground​ ​to​ ​10​ ​to​ ​15​ ​cm​ ​in​ ​depth.​ ​The​ ​root​ ​zone​ ​needs​ ​to​ ​be​ ​tilled​ ​to allow​ ​the​ ​grass-roots​ ​to​ ​penetrate. 3. Add​ ​soil​ ​as​ ​necessary​ ​to​ ​address​ ​the​ ​final​ ​levels​ ​to​ ​meet​ ​paths​ ​and​ ​edges.​ ​Use​ ​a​ ​good quality​ ​lawn-mix​ ​soil​ ​not​ ​garden​ ​composts. 4. Consolidate​ ​the​ ​cultivated​ ​ground​ ​by​ ​trampling,​ ​raking​ ​and​ ​trampling​ ​again​ ​to​ ​settle​ ​the soil.​ ​Heeling​ ​the​ ​soil​ ​is​ ​the​ ​best​ ​way​ ​to​ ​ensure​ ​the​ ​final​ ​surface​ ​is​ ​firm​ ​to​ ​walk​ ​on​ ​leaving a​ ​foot​ ​print​ ​but​ ​no​ ​indentation. 5. Rake​ ​and​ ​use​ ​a​ ​lawn-level-board​ ​to​ ​prepare​ ​the​ ​final​ ​smooth​ ​surface​ ​removing​ ​rocks, roots​ ​or​ ​large​ ​clods. 6. Apply​ ​starter​ ​fertiliser​ ​to​ ​stimulate​ ​rapid​ ​root​ ​growth. LAYING​ ​THE​ ​TURF

Begin​ ​laying​ ​along​ ​the​ ​longest​ ​straight​ ​edge. Always​ ​lay​ ​in​ ​a​ ​straight​ ​line,​ ​don’t​ ​try​ ​to​ ​bend​ ​around​ ​corners. Stagger​ ​the​ ​turf​ ​in​ ​a​ ​brick-like​ ​pattern. Press​ ​the​ ​turf​ ​edges​ ​and​ ​ends​ ​firmly​ ​together​ ​without​ ​stretching. Avoid​ ​leaving​ ​small​ ​strips​ ​at​ ​outer​ ​edges​ ​as​ ​they​ ​will​ ​not​ ​retain​ ​moisture. Cut​ ​the​ ​ends​ ​off​ ​using​ ​a​ ​large​ ​knife. It​ ​is​ ​a​ ​good​ ​idea​ ​to​ ​stand​ ​on​ ​boards​ ​as​ ​you​ ​lay​ ​the​ ​lawn​ ​to​ ​avoid​ ​upsetting​ ​the​ ​prepared lawn-bed. 8. Keep​ ​off​ ​the​ ​new​ ​laid​ ​lawn. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

SOWING​ ​SEEDS 1. Sow​ ​the​ ​seed​ ​and​ ​pre-plant​ ​fertiliser​ ​by​ ​walking​ ​backward​ ​across​ ​the​ ​lawn​ ​east-west then​ ​again​ ​north-south​ ​and​ ​either​ ​hand​ ​scatter​ ​or​ ​use​ ​a​ ​spreader.​ ​(it​ ​may​ ​be​ ​an​ ​idea​ ​to mix​ ​some​ ​dry​ ​sand,​ ​soil​ ​or​ ​pre-plant​ ​fertiliser​ ​with​ ​the​ ​seed​ ​to​ ​ensure​ ​complete​ ​coverage is​ ​met) 2. Lightly​ ​rake​ ​the​ ​seed​ ​into​ ​the​ ​top​ ​10-25mm​ ​of​ ​the​ ​soil.​ ​This​ ​helps​ ​keep​ ​the​ ​seed​ ​evenly moist​ ​during​ ​germination​ ​and​ ​stops​ ​those​ ​pesky​ ​birds​ ​making​ ​a​ ​meal​ ​of​ ​your​ ​hard​ ​work 3. Keep​ ​the​ ​lawn​ ​area​ ​evenly​ ​moist​ ​during​ ​the​ ​germination​ ​period​ ​as​ ​if​ ​it​ ​dries​ ​out​ ​at​ ​any stage,​ ​your​ ​strike​ ​rate​ ​could​ ​be​ ​severely​ ​affected.​ ​Best​ ​practice​ ​is​ ​to​ ​water​ ​morning​ ​and afternoon,​ ​not​ ​during​ ​the​ ​heat​ ​of​ ​midday,​ ​as​ ​any​ ​new​ ​shoots​ ​could​ ​burn​ ​under​ ​water​ ​in the​ ​sun. MOWING 1. Begin​ ​mowing​ ​in​ ​14​ ​to​ ​21​ ​days​ ​after​ ​laying​ ​the​ ​new​ ​lawn​ ​-​ ​in​ ​the​ ​days​ ​prior​ ​to​ ​mowing, reduce​ ​irrigation​ ​to​ ​ensure​ ​the​ ​ground​ ​is​ ​firm​ ​underfoot. 2. Cut​ ​off​ ​1/3​ ​of​ ​the​ ​length​ ​and​ ​remove​ ​the​ ​clippings. *​ ​Mow​ ​every​ ​4​ ​to​ ​6​ ​days​ ​in​ ​the​ ​first​ ​month​ ​and​ ​then​ ​weekly. *​ ​The​ ​mowing​ ​height​ ​should​ ​start​ ​a​ ​little​ ​bit​ ​long​ ​and​ ​then​ ​reduce​ ​down​ ​to​ ​the​ ​desirable​ ​height​ ​of 25​ ​mm​ ​for​ ​fine​ ​rye​ ​lawns​ ​or​ ​35mm​ ​for​ ​tall​ ​fescue​ ​lawns. *In​ ​summer​ ​the​ ​grass​ ​should​ ​be​ ​mown​ ​5​ ​to​ ​10mm​ ​longer​ ​than​ ​when​ ​the​ ​temperature​ ​is​ ​cooler FEEDING *Begin​ ​feeding​ ​your​ ​lawn​ ​approximately​ ​1​ ​month​ ​after​ ​it​ ​was​ ​laid.​ ​At​ ​about​ ​1​ ​month​ ​the​ ​grass growth​ ​rate​ ​will​ ​slow​ ​and​ ​the​ ​lawn​ ​will​ ​lose​ ​colour​ ​indicating​ ​its​ ​time​ ​for​ ​the​ ​first​ ​feed. ● Only​ ​use​ ​quality​ ​pelletised​ ​fertiliser​ ​such​ ​as​ ​the​ ​Rolawn​ ​Lawn​ ​food. ● Apply​ ​3​ ​to​ ​4​ ​kg​ ​per​ ​100​ ​m2​ ​of​ ​lawn. ● Re-apply​ ​fertiliser​ ​every​ ​2​ ​months. *​ ​If​ ​the​ ​lawn​ ​is​ ​lush​ ​and​ ​has​ ​good​ ​colour​ ​the​ ​feed​ ​can​ ​be​ ​delayed​ ​however​ ​if​ ​the​ ​soil​ ​is​ ​poor​ ​and the​ ​lawn​ ​unthrifty​ ​then​ ​feed​ ​it​ ​sooner.
