An annual does not come back next year whereas a perennial flower does. With a few exceptions annuals bloom all summer whereas perennials have a blooming season.

There are many varieties of grass available.  Fescues, Ryes, and Bluegrass are typical lawn grasses in Indiana.  Like any other plant hybridizers people are constantly working on  new and better varieties.  They are always on the hunt for shorter and more disease resistant strains.  As anything else, these new and better strains generally cost a bit more.  Or own brand of Nature’s Link Grass Seed has some of the newest and best varieties  blended to make a mix best suited for this area.

Our first priority is to get water away from your home.   When possible we try to get six inches of fall in the first ten feet away from the house and at least one inch of fall every 10 feet past that. We have found that if we capture the downspouts and get thos as far ay from the house as possible and get the fall as described, most drainage issues go away.

New lawns need to be watered daily for the first two to three weeks, every other day for one week, every third day for a week, and every fourth day for another week. After that, water as needed pending weather conditions. Remember, if we are losing a quarter-inch of water due to evapotranspiration, then you need to apply one inch every four days. The evapotranspiration rate changes daily based on our current weather conditions.

New lawns need to be mowed when they are four to five inches tall, never cutting more than one-quarter of the blade of grass at a time. 

New lawns will need to be fertilized within four weeks of initial installation using a new lawn starter.

Loose straw and straw-net do not need to be removed. They will be mulched into your lawn during the mowing process. You will do more damage to the new grass attempting to remove straw than leaving it in place. As your lawn is mowed, straw and straw net will be chopped up and will become fertilizer for your new lawn.

Weeds in a new lawn are natural. You don’t need to worry about it initially. The first step is to get your new lawn full and thick. Then as you put the lawn on a regular fertilization and weed control program, the weeds will be taken care of at that time.
