Maintenance:

Proper watering upon installation is essential to successful establishment.

Water thoroughly upon installation ensuring that both the Lobo is wet and the soil is most to a depth of 3", which is approximately 1" of water per day.
In hot weather, water within a few hours of installation to mitigate sever damage or loss due to heat/dehydration stress.
Shaded areas and heavy soils require less water than full-sun areas and sandy soils.
When proper rooting is evident, alter irrigation program accordingly.

Zoysia best performs when it receives approximately 1 inch of water per week.

Fertilize your new lawn once rooted with a light application of 10x10x10 fertilizer.

Mow as soon as your new lawn is rooted - at the recommended height(see table below).

Mow when grass is this tall: 2" 5cm
Set cutting height of mower to: 1.5" 3.7cm

Mow with sharp mower blades.
