Installation and Care
There is a right way and a wrong way to install and care for your new yard. Here are some tips from Slater Turf Farm and some links for more in depth information.
Tip: When seeding, strive for excellent "Soil to Seed Contact." Soil to seed contact and correct timing are the most important efforts you can make to get a good stand.
Tip: When laying sod, make sure you have good soil to sod contact, that you have amended the soil fertility according to a soil test report, and that you water it right after it is installed.
Tip: Visit the web sites at the Turfgrass Resource Center www.turfgrasssod.org, and visit www.turffiles.ncsu.edu for detailed information on turfgrass installation and care. Also look at www.virtual.clemson.edu/groups/turfornamental/ for additional extensive turfgrass information.
