Caring for your new Landscape

Caring for Your New Landscape 

Thank you for choosing The Outdoor Group to install your new landscape. We know that landscaping can be a significant investment in your home or business, so here are some steps to take to keep your new landscape looking like new. 

Sod Installations

After Install: Your new grass NEEDS WATER. Once laid, it needs to be watered daily for the first two weeks of it’s install. Your watering schedule should be three (3) times per day; once in the early morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the early evening, 15-20 minutes per application. In severe heat, we recommend three times per day at 25-30 minutes. Please note that these times may be adjusted based on the coverage of your sprinkler system. Allowing the sod to dry out can lead to sod death and bare spots. Your sod should root in 10 to 14 days. 

Once rooted: You can reduce your watering time to 4 or 5 days per week, one to two times per day. We recommend letting the sod dry out 1 to 2 days before the first cut. 

Post Care: To get the most out of your new lawn, look into a turf management program. 


Landscapes, Beds, & Plants 

After Install: 

New plants add plenty of beauty to your landscape. Make sure it stays that way. Your new plants need daily water, preferably twice per day, at least 10 to 15 minutes per application. This should last at least for two weeks and in bouts of extreme heat, to prevent shock or plant death. The goal is to keep the soil around the plant damp, but not saturated. 

Post Care: 

To get the most out of your landscape, look into fertilization and weed control for your beds, trees, and shrubs. outdoorgroupmi.com
