WATERING INSTRUCTIONS Sod, Trees & Shrubs Your new lawn and landscape represents an investment which can reap big dividends if cared for properly.

Do not be alarmed if the grass turns yellow or brown in the first few days after installation. An established yard should only be watered when the grass blades show signs of . Sod Installed in Winter Bermuda grass installed in the dormant season will survive in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area if cared for properly. Grass installed during the winter often does not break dormancy as early in the spring as established turf. Trees and Shrubs Installed in Summer Trees and shrubs should be thoroughly soaked to the bottom of the root ball when installed (tree balls are approximately 3 feet deep, shrub roots are approximately 1 foot deep). Trees and Shrubs Installed in Winter Water requirements for trees and shrubs installed in the winter are similar to those in summer, except that the soil does not dry out as quickly. The trees and shrubs in your landscape are hardy for this area. REMEMBER Don't forget to water trees, shrubs and grass in the parkway and on the sides of the house, as these areas are easily neglected. A little bit of attention to your landscape can pay big dividends and help make your neighborhood a beautiful place to live. LUSH LAWNS LANDSCAPE, INC.
