5 Easy Steps to a Picture Perfect lawn:

1. Prepare the Soil: It’s important there is good seed to soil contact. For small areas and spot seeding, work up the area with a hard rake to about ½” depth. Apply seed lightly.
2. Rake back in to about ¼” deep so seed is barely below the surface.
3. Fertilize: Apply Dyn-Green Starter fertilizer for optimum establishment and growth.
4. Water thoroughly. Keep moist until grass germinates. Do not allow the ½” of the soil to become dry. Once the lawn is established, reduce watering frequency to help ensure a deep-rooted lawn.
5. Mow once the grass reaches 3” in height. For large areas, complete lawn care, and renovations visit www.dynagreeninfo.com for more detailed instructions.
