Eliminate Weeds
All year round it's important to make sure you manage weeds.
To ensure a good lawn all year round we recommend a visual check regularly for weeds, the sooner you spot them the easier to exterminate them. If there is a small amount of weeds pull them out by hand, however a special weed spray may need to be applied (contact us for details about broad leaf weed control spray)

Frequent Watering
All living things need water, and Instant Lawn is no different. However, avoid watering in the middle of the day as this can cause sunburn on the turf through magnification. We recommend watering morning and evening, especially in Summer and Spring. Contact Us about an irrigation system if you don't have one already.
Regular Mowing
Little and often is the rule of thumb, to ensure a great looking lawn.
Keep mowing frequently and with the correct cut height - never cut more than 1/3 of the blade in one mow. Avoid mowing when moisture or frost is present.
At Instant Green we are committed to helping you create the best possible lawn so please contact us with any turf questions.
