We have recently aerated and seeded every lawn in Parkhaven with a hybrid bermuda grass seed. This means it is time for you to water daily. For optimal success you must keep the seed and soil moist. It will need consistent watering and care to ensure optimal germination.

Water Often - Highly Recommended - More frequent watering but not too much. The goal here is to keep the ground moist not wet. It cannot dry but we do not want to drown the seed and cause the seed to run off. It is advised to check out the lawn every couple of hours to see if you need to water more.

Ground Cover - Highly Recommended - If you are able to (not completely necessary) put down a thin layer of compost. This is great for newly seeded lawns. This helps to keep the seed moist and helps with seed to soil contact. We like Pete Moss and lawn soil which can be purchased at Lowes or Home Depot. Both work great and will benefit your lawn tremendously. I personally prefer compost. You will need quite a few bags of compost to cover your lawn. To the right you will see a great example of how you should top dress your lawn with a compost soil.

This is the system we like. You can purchase the wifi hub also which is recommended. This allows control from anywhere in the world.

One of the great things about this system is that it has an automatic rain delay based on the weather in your area. You will need the wifi hub and app installed on your phone to work.

This system plugs directly into your water hose spigot.

Another great thing about this system is you can run these hoses in the ground to hide them. Here is a perfect example of a Parkhaven resident who buried his/her hoses only to expose the orbit sprinkler. For many of the lawns in Parkhaven this is really all you need for the front.
