1. Why is the mulch green?
Both wood and paper mulches are white in color. The green dye is used to help see where and how much is applied on all types of soils.
2. What happens when it rains?
When applied correctly by a quality contractor natural rain fall will not cause anything to move. Even severe slopes, when a quality contractor is hired, soil loss will be very little. Down spouts, ditches, and other forms of channeling water may require additional attention..... Ask your contractor where the problem areas maybe on your site.
3. My yard is a swamp, what can I do?
Stop watering until it dries out, then resume watering less at a time, but just as often. We are looking for moist to wet…. Not a swamp.
4. I have green/black mold, what do I do?
Decrease your watering; this is normally a sign of over-watering. Algae spores are everywhere and will grow in warm wet conditions. Decrease your water slightly; do not allow puddles to last more than a few hours. Algae will not hurt your new turf or stop it from germinating or growing.
5. My grass is purple, what do I do?
This is a sign of over-watering causing the grass to be unable to breathe and take up nutrients. Reduce water slightly, do not water at night. Fertilizing and reducing the length of your watering will allow the grass to recover.
6. Can I use weed control chemicals?
No, it is not recommended, especially weed and feed types of fertilizers. Newly planted lawns from seed are very sensitive to chemicals; you might want to consult a Weed Control Specialist before any weed control chemicals are used. This is recommended on all young turf that is seeded, hydro-seeded, or sodded.
7. When will I see grass?
With most grasses, it will germinate in a week, pretty and green in two weeks, with mowing in about three weeks during its growing season. Soil temperatures need to be warm enough and long enough in the day to trigger germination. If it happens to be a cold, cloudy day; the seed might just sit there not growing at all. There are times early in the season that your grass may take longer to establish. Ryes and Fescues will germinate the easiest.
