Lawn Starter Pack

This ‘Turf Warranty’ guarantees the performance of your new turf supplied by Carabooda Lawn and does not relate to any weed or insect pest that may be present on your property as these products do not contain herbicides or insecticides. They are purely to assist with water retention and fertilising your new turf!

1. A sprinkler system must be present and operational with a timer, ensuring that your new lawn can be watered for 3 x 20 minute intervals (ideally 6am, 11am and 2pm). We do not recommend watering late in the day as there is minimal evaporation.

2. All products supplied in this pack should be applied wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment in accordance with the Manufacturer’s instructions. Fertilisers should always be watered in well following application to avoid any burning to the plant.

3. Once the ground is levelled, apply the Mineral Magic, Organic 2000 and rake into the soil, then using your hose apply the Aqua Force and water the area well, before proceeding to place the turf rolls lengthways around the perimeter of the area to be installed, followed by remaining rolls in a brick-like fashion. It is important to compact the lawn preferably using a plate compactor to remove any air pockets between the turf roll and the ground.

4. Turf delivered should be installed immediately following delivery.

5. Using your Water Exemption, apply water as described in Point 1, until the turf rolls have formed new white roots and the rolls are firmly attached to the ground. At this point you can begin to gradually reduce your waterings from three times to two times daily, then twice to once daily, until your lawn is established well enough to graduate to normal watering times.

6. Your first few mows should be minimal, barely removing the tips of the lawn, gradually achieving a straight surface. Harsh mowing should be avoided.

7. At 6-8 weeks from installation, you should apply the first application of Carabooda NPK Granular which is a high quality fertiliser, watering in immediately, and repeat every 6-8 weeks.
