New Lawns/Rolled Turf

You probably chose rolled turf because you wanted a lawn fast, and a lawn started without all the weeds. Great! We have a great natural fertilizer for you, with a better nutrient package than most premium synthetic fertilizers; and, one that cares for your soil. Transplanted turf grass will experience some shock, so plenty of water and a good natural nutrient source is essential. If you are preparing your soil for the sod, we have some suggestions. After you have carefully levelled the area, sprinkle a light amount of grass seed or a grass seed mix on the ground before installing the new sod. We suggest a mixture with a good quantity of high quality creeping red fescue.  This will help fill in any area between the sod strips.  Do not apply Turffix^® or Turffix Plus^® at this point.  You can, however, sprinkle the grass seed on top of the finished sod just before the rolling and packing process, if you prefer.

Using one of the many fertilizer / salt spreaders available at your local home and garden center, apply either Turffix^® or Turffix Plus^®. Your turf grass has a clean start. Water the transplanted grass until the sod and soil below it are quite moist. This is an natural product and is far less likely to burn or kill the grass even if you experiment with the rates.

Nutrients from an natural fertilizer depend upon bio-degradation to become available. Therefore, they are synchronized with plant requirements. Weather conditions which promote rapid plant growth also accelerate nutrient availability. Plant requirements and nutrient availability are coordinated naturally. For the first three weeks, set your mower to mulch, rather than bagging your clippings, as the mower may lift up the Turffix^® with the grass clippings. After three weeks and some watering, you can mow the lawn as usual.

We reccomend what is reasonable for a dense luxuriant lawn.
