Since Cool Season grass grows most actively in Spring & Autumn, this is when it needs to be fertilized most. It is beneficial to scarify warm season lawns first in spring when an application of 5:1:5 can be introduced onto the roots at 50g / m². Lawns do best when fertilized "little and often”. Grass growing in sandy soil needs to be fertilize more often than that growing in a clay soil, since the nutrients leach out far more readily in the first instance.

Although the sods are well knitted together, careful handling is desirable. Do not leave the sod in the sun for long periods. For best results, Cool Season Grasses should be laid within 12 hours of delivery

When establishing Cool Season Grasses, the following watering programme is recommended. Warm months, 4 times a day (6am, 9am, 11am, 2pm). In cool months, 2 times a day, early morning and midday. NB: Do not water later than 2pm so that the grass can dry off before night falls. Although adequate watering is very important, over watering and “puddling” must be avoided. Different types of soil must be taken into consideration.
