About the Grass

TifTuf's growth allows for faster establishment and quicker recovery compared to other Bermudas. It features an attractive bright green color with faster spring green-up and late fall color retention.

New Grass Tips

Although new sod becomes established after two to three weeks when the roots begin to take hold, full maturity won't happen until an entire year passes. Follow these tips for the first year to ensure the success of a new lawn.

• Water Regularly
  
  New grass needs more water than mature grass. Water once or twice a day, depending on weather conditions for the first couple weeks, even if the grass variety is drought resistant.
  
  Once the grass is established, water half an inch twice per week, but keep an eye on it. If your grass looks stressed with curling leaves or lighter color, give it extra water. If a week is particularly dry, hot or windy, watering three or four times per week rather than twice may be in order during a lawn's first year.
  
  
• Wait to Fertilize
  
  It may be tempting to feed your new lawn, but fertilizing too soon can burn new shoots and tender roots. We suggest blending a fertilizer into the soil prior to installation. Otherwise, wait to fertilize for a full year to allow the grass to reach maturity.
• Hold Off on Weed Control
  
  Herbicides can interfere with root development in new lawns, so be patient. Wait a full season until your lawn matures, then apply a pre-emergent herbicide each spring and fall to control common weeds.
