FAQ #7 - How often does the turf need watering? 🤔


💦 Initially, water daily to keep the turf moist while re-establishing (about 2 weeks). After this period reduce the frequency of watering to encourage the development of deeper and stronger roots.

Weather conditions and time of year will dictate amount and frequency of watering. Be sure the new turf has enough moisture to survive hot ☀️, dry and windy 🍃 periods.

❗ The single biggest reason for turf failure is due to insufficient watering during re-establishment. ❗


There are helpful instructions on our website, and we also send out 'Installation and Care Guidelines' with every order.
