New home? Starting a lawn from scratch? Ready for an instant lawn? Here are 7 tips for your new lawn install.

The lawn has finally arrived (on pallets).The day of installing turf is here and I want to take you through what I do to ensure success. This video will take you through the processes from prep to lay and show you some of the things that I do differently.

1. Topsoil. Make sure you get enough of a layer especially if you are dealing with a contractor grade install. The time to amend is now.

2. Rake Rake Rake. Get it smooth. This is huge. Don't waste your time leveling the lawn later. Do it now.

3. Polymers for water conservation. Do it. You will be happy you did.

4. Pre-treat with fertilizer. I love this and there are many ways to accomplish it. Granular, liquid, whatever you choose will make a difference in establishment. This is also the best time any pH and soil amendments.

5. Source your turf. Call the growers. Dig in for the best success.

6. Lay in a brick pattern and tuck and roll! Don't leave gaps... cmon!
do it right, get it tight!

7. Water. make sure you keep the soil moist 3-34" down and maintain that for the first few weeks, this is vital. soon you can water less and start your regular feeding and mowing.

My first Mow will be in 2 weeks and I can't wait.
