Frequently Asked Questions

A: Start watering immediately after installation. For the first ten days, water 2-3 times a day for spring and fall installations and up to three times during daytime for summer installations. Depending upon your particular irrigation system, you need to water each zone for 10 to 20 minutes or until water starts to run off. Another method is to apply about 1/4″ to 3/8′ of water per day. For further information, ask your irrigation contractor.

A: Polymers must be tilled into the soil. Polymers cannot be applied to the surface of an existing lawn. Apply dry polymers with a drop or broadcast spreader before sodding. Work into the soil 2-6 inches at a rate of 1 lb per 540 square feet. One pound of polymers can absorb up to 40 gallons of rainwater and 31 gallons of tap water. It releases up to 95 percent of the water absorbed and makes it available for the plant.
