Perennial Landscapes has now installed your turf, it now needs to be maintained regularly to ensure it grows and continues to look good.

Firstly, keep off your lawn. If you need to walk across your newly laid lawn, then use boards to spread your weight. Ideally, use boards for the first month, or until the first cut is required.

Lawn maintenance involves a range of activities that are aimed at keeping your lawn healthy, attractive, and safe. Some of the common lawn maintenance activities include mowing, watering, fertilizing, aerating, weeding, and pest control. Here are some tips on how to maintain a healthy lawn:

Mowing: Regularly mowing your lawn helps to keep it looking neat and tidy. You should mow your lawn once a week during the growing season, but avoid cutting the grass too short, as this can damage the root system.

Watering: Your lawn needs regular watering to stay healthy. You should water your lawn deeply once a week, rather than giving it light and frequent watering. This helps the grass roots to grow deeper and makes the lawn more drought resistant. After the lawn has been installed, it needs to be watered daily during hot weather. Using a sprinkler, ensure the whole lawn gets watered.

Fertilizing: Fertilizing your lawn helps to keep it healthy and green. You should fertilize your lawn in the spring and fall, but avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive growth and damage to the grass.

Aerating: Lawn aeration involves punching small holes in the soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the soil. You should aerate your lawn once a year, preferably in the fall or spring.

Weeding: Weeds can choke out the grass in your lawn, so it's important to regularly remove them. You can use a weeding tool or herbicide to remove weeds from your lawn.

Pest control: Lawn pests like grubs and insects can damage your lawn, so it's important to use pest control measures to keep them at bay. You can use insecticides or natural remedies to control lawn pests.
