Maintenance Tips
| Spring |
Fertilize once when grass begins to turn green. Be very careful when applying fertilizer to centipede grass. Too much Nitrogen can potentially damage the centipede grass. Look for a fertilizer blend 5-10-30. Do NOT apply fertilizer until frost is no longer a threat. Mow to 0.5" to 1.5" in as needed. |
| Summer |
Continue mowing as needed, water only if extended drought. You should not need to fertilize at this time unless soil sample reveals otherwise. |
| Fall |
Mow as needed, but frequency will be reduced. Towards the end of the fall, leave the centipede grass slightly higher (1.5-2") to allow for insulation throughout winter. |
| Winter |
No maintenance needed while dormant |
How to Plant
Planting Centipede plugs is a breeze! With a simple hand trowel or plugging tool, create small holes at 1-foot intervals in your yard. Insert a plug into each hole, pack it gently with soil, and give it a generous watering. Voilà - you're done! In just 7 to 10 days during the growing season, these plugs will firmly take root, kickstarting your journey to a lush lawn.
- Mow the existing lawn / weeds as short as possible.
- Water the area (digging holes will be easier in soil that is slightly wet)
- Use one of our tools or a garden trowel to dig holes to a depth of about 1.5"inches
- Place a plug into each hole
- Go back and firmly step on each plug, which ensures good contact with the soil
- Water! Water new plugs immediately and each day for the first 2-3 weeks.
