Weather Conditions & Unforeseen Events

Factors like temperature, environmental conditions, pests, diseases such as snow mold, excessive activity, heavy rains, and improper maintenance can all influence the success of a seeding project. While we make every effort to monitor forecasts and plan our work accordingly, predicting Mother Nature is a challenge. Green Thumb Lawn Service cannot be held responsible for damages or complications arising from these situations. Our commitment is to work with Mother Nature within our short seeding window and deliver the best possible service under the prevailing circumstances.

After-Care

Proper aftercare is vital to the success of your newly seeded lawn. You are responsible for correctly watering, mowing, and maintaining the seeded area. Failure to follow the guidelines below may result in damage or loss of the seeded area.

1
Watering

Consistent watering is the single biggest factor in germination. The seeded area must remain moist during daylight hours for the first 2 to 4 weeks.

• 2 to 3 light waterings per day, spaced out across daylight hours.
• Inconsistent watering (skipping days) significantly reduces germination rates and can cause complete failure.
• We recommend automated timers and oscillating sprinkler heads to mimic natural rainfall.

2
Mowing & Maintenance

• Follow the 1/3 rule when mowing, and adjust frequency based on grass growth rate.
• Make the first cut when seedlings reach 4 inches.
• Avoid heavy ride-on equipment for the first few mowings. It will harm the seedlings.
• Excessive foot traffic, pets, and wildlife can negatively affect uniform germination.
• Appropriate fertility and pest management remain important for a healthy, established lawn.

3
Cooperation & Responsibility

A successful seeding project requires teamwork between Green Thumb Lawn Service and the client. You are responsible for following these guidelines and keeping open communication with us if any concerns or issues come up. Teamwork is everything here.

Guarantee

Green Thumb Lawn Service is committed to your satisfaction and we will always work to provide solutions. That said, we cannot offer a specific guarantee on seeding projects, because too many factors are outside our control once the seed is on the ground. If you run into issues with your seeding project, contact us immediately. We will assess the situation and develop a plan to put your lawn on the best path forward.
