Your Landscape, Taken Care Of
This page is your go to resource for caring for your lawn, plantings, and outdoor spaces. From newly installed sod and hydroseed to plantings and seasonal maintenance, these guides are designed to help you protect your investment and get long-lasting results.
Each guide breaks down what to do, when to do it, and why it matters so you can feel confident about keeping your landscape healthy year round.
New Hydroseed Aftercare
Just had your lawn hydroseeded? The first few weeks are critical to successful growth. Proper watering and early care help the seed establish strong roots and fill in evenly.
This guide walks you through what to expect after hydroseeding and how to care for your new lawn so it comes in thick, healthy, and long-lasting.
Hydroseed Care Basics
Keep the soil consistently moist during the first 2–3 weeks
Water lightly multiple times per day to prevent drying out
Avoid foot traffic until the grass is established
Hold off on mowing until the grass reaches the proper height
With the right care early on, hydroseeded lawns can establish quickly and outperform traditional seeding.
New Planting Aftercare
Just had new plantings installed? Proper care during the first few weeks is critical to long-term health and growth. With the right watering schedule and early attention, your new plants can establish strong roots and thrive for years to come.
Our team at Brandon Landscaping Inc. provides this guide to help homeowners across the South Shore protect their investment and get the best results from their new landscape.
What matters most early on:
Consistent watering during the first 2–4 weeks
Monitoring soil moisture (not too dry, not oversaturated)
Avoiding stress during heat or dry spells
Follow our planting care recommendations to ensure long-term success.
New Sod & Lawn Aftercare
New sod needs a little extra care to properly take root and establish. The first few weeks after installation are the most important and watering is the biggest factor in long-term success.
If you’ve recently had sod installed, this guide will walk you through:
Proper watering schedules
When to begin mowing
Fertilizing timelines
How to avoid common mistakes
Following these steps helps ensure a thick, healthy lawn that lasts.
