***Sun & Shade Park Mix forms a durable turf for general use areas. Sun & Shade Park Mix will do well under a
wide range of maintenance levels and can be established in full sun to partially shaded conditions. Sun & Shade
Park Mix will provide turf with a fine texture, good mowing quality, and withstand moderate traffic. Sun & Shade Park
Mix will establish quickly for maximum competition against annual weeds.***
PERMANENT SEEDING NOTES
GRADING
1.GRADE THE SITE TO ACHIEVE PROPOSED GRADES AND POSITIVE DRAINAGE.
ADD TOPSOIL TO ACHIEVE NEEDED DEPTH FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF VEGETATION.
SEEDBED PREPARATION
1.TEST SOIL TO DETERMINE PH AND NUTRIENT LEVELS.
2.APPLY SOIL AMENDMENTS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE SOIL TEST AND WORK INTO THE UPPER TWO TO FOUR INCHES OF SOIL.
IF TESTING IS NOT DONE, APPLY 400 TO 600 POUNDS PER ACRE OF 12-12-12 ANALYSIS FERTILIZER, OR EQUIVALENT.
3.TILL THE SOIL TO OBTAIN A UNIFORM SEEDBED. USE A DISK OR RAKE, OPERATED ACROSS THE SLOPE, TO WORK THE SOIL
AMENDMENTS INTO THE UPPER TWO TO FOUR INCHES OF THE SOIL.
SEEDING
OPTIMUM SEEDING DATES: MARCH 1 TO MAY 10 OR AUGUST 10 TO SEPTEMBER 30
PERMANENT SEEDING DONE BETWEEN MAY 10 TO AUGUST 10 - SHALL BE IRRIGATED. SEEDING OUTSIDE OR BEYOND OPTIMUM
SEEDING DATES IS STILL POSSIBLE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT RESEEDING OR OVERSEEDING SHALL BE REQUIRED IF
ADEQUATE SURFACE COVER IS NOT ACHIEVED. RESEEDING OR OVERSEEDING CAN BE EASILY ACCOMPLISHED IF THE SOIL
SURFACE REMAINS WELL PROTECTED WITH MULCH.
1.APPLY SEED UNIFORMLY WITH A DRILL OR CULTIPACKER SEEDER OR BY BROADCASTING. PLANT OR COVER THE SEED TO A
DEPTH OF ONE-FOURTH TO ONE-HALF INCH. IF DRILLING OR BROADCASTING THE SEED, ENSURE GOOD SEED-TO-SOIL
CONTACT BY FIRMING THE SEEDBED WITH A ROLLER OR CULTIPACKER AFTER COMPLETING SEEDING OPERATIONS. (IF
SEEDING IS DONE WITH A HYDROSEEDER, FERTILIZER AND MULCH CAN BE APPLIED WITH THE SEED IN A SLURRY MIXTURE.)
2.MULCH ALL SEEDED AREAS AND USE APPROPRIATE METHODS TO ANCHOR THE MULCH IN PLACE. USE EROSION CONTROL
BLANKETS ON SLOPING AREAS AND CONVEYANCE CHANNELS
MAINTENANCE
1.INSPECT WITHIN 24 HOURS OF EACH RAIN EVENT AND AT LEAST ONCE EVERY SEVEN CALENDAR DAYS UNTIL THE
VEGETATION IS SUCCESSFULLY ESTABLISHED.
2.CHARACTERISTICS OF A SUCCESSFUL STAND INCLUDE VIGOROUS DARK GREEN OR BLUISHGREEN SEEDLINGS WITH A
UNIFORM VEGETATIVE COVER DENSITY OF 90 PERCENT OR MORE.
3.CHECK FOR EROSION OR MOVEMENT OF MULCH.
4.REPAIR DAMAGED, BARE, GULLIED, OR SPARSELY VEGETATED AREAS AND THEN FERTILIZE, RESEED, AND APPLY AND
ANCHOR MULCH.
5.IF PLANT COVER IS SPARSE OR PATCHY, EVALUATE THE PLANT MATERIALS CHOSEN, SOIL FERTILITY, MOISTURE CONDITION,
AND MULCH APPLICATION; REPAIR AFFECTED AREAS EITHER BY OVERSEEDING OR PREPARING A NEW SEEDBED AND
RESEEDING. APPLY AND ANCHOR MULCH ON THE NEWLY SEEDED AREAS.
6.IF VEGETATION FAILS TO GROW, TEST SOIL TO DETERMINE SOIL PH OR NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY PROBLEMS. (CONTACT YOUR
SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT OR COOPERATIVE EXTENSION OFFICE FOR ASSISTANCE.)
7.IF ADDITIONAL FERTILIZATION OR SOIL AMENDMENTS ARE NEEDED TO GET A SATISFACTORY STAND, DO SO ACCORDING TO
SOIL TEST RECOMMENDATIONS.
8.ADD FERTILIZER THE FOLLOWING GROWING SEASON. FERTILIZE ACCORDING TO SOIL TEST RECOMMENDATIONS.
9.FERTILIZE TURF AREAS ANNUALLY. APPLY FERTILIZER IN A SPLIT APPLICATION. FOR COOL-SEASON GRASSES, APPLY
ONE-HALF OF THE FERTILIZER IN LATE SPRING AND ONE HALF IN EARLY FALL. FOR WARM-SEASON GRASSES, APPLY
ONE-THIRD IN EARLY SPRING, ONE-THIRD IN LATE SPRING, AND THE REMAINING ONE-THIRD IN MIDDLE SUMMER.

SOD NOTES
INSTALLATION
SOD SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED DURING HOT WEATHER, ON DRY SOIL, FROZEN SOIL, COMPACTED CLAY,
LOOSE SAND OR GRAVELLY SUBSTRATE SOILS, AGGREGATE, OR PESTICIDE TREATED SOIL. THE IDEAL
TIME TO LAY SOD IS MAY 1 TO JUNE 1 OR SEPTEMBER 1 TO SEPTEMBER 30, ALTHOUGH IT CAN BE
INSTALLED AS EARLY AS MARCH 15 IF AVAILABLE OR JUNE 1 TO SEPTEMBER 1 IF IRRIGATED.
SITE PREPARATION
1.APPLY TOPSOIL IF EXISTING SOIL CONDITIONS ARE UNSUITABLE FOR ESTABLISHING VEGETATION.
2.GRADE THE SITE TO ACHIEVE POSITIVE DRAINAGE AND CREATE A SMOOTH, FIRM SOIL SURFACE.
3.WHERE APPLICABLE, USE A CHISEL PLOW, DISK, HARROW, OR RAKE TO BREAK UP COMPACTED SOILS
AND CREATE A FAVORABLE ROOTING DEPTH OF SIX TO EIGHT INCHES.
SOD BED PREPARATION
1.TEST SOIL TO DETERMINE PH AND NUTRIENT LEVELS.
2.IF SOIL PH IS TOO ACIDIC FOR THE GRASS SOD TO BE INSTALLED, APPLY LIME ACCORDING TO SOIL
TEST RESULTS OR AT THE RATE RECOMMENDED BY THE SOD SUPPLIER.
3.APPLY FERTILIZER AS RECOMMENDED BY THE SOIL TEST. IF TESTING WAS NOT DONE, APPLY 400 TO 600
POUNDS PER ACRE OF 12-12-12 ANALYSIS FERTILIZER, OR EQUIVALENT.
4.WORK THE SOIL AMENDMENTS INTO THE UPPER TWO TO FOUR INCHES OF SOIL WITH A DISK OR RAKE
OPERATED ACROSS THE SLOPE.
5.RAKE OR HARROW THE AREA TO ACHIEVE A SMOOTH FINAL GRADE AND THEN ROLL OR CULTIPACK THE
SOIL SURFACE TO CREATE A FIRM SURFACE ON WHICH TO LAY THE SOD.
LAYING THE SOD
1.INSTALL SOD WITHIN THIRTY-SIX HOURS OF ITS CUTTING.
2.STORE THE SOD IN A SHADED LOCATION DURING INSTALLATION.
3.IMMEDIATELY BEFORE LAYING THE SOD, RAKE THE SOIL SURFACE TO BREAK ANY CRUST. (IF THE
WEATHER IS HOT, LIGHTLY IRRIGATE THE SOIL SURFACE PRIOR TO LAYING THE SOD.)
4.LAY SOD STRIPS IN A BRICK-LIKE PATTERN.
5.BUTT ALL JOINTS TIGHTLY AGAINST EACH OTHER (DO NOT STRETCH OR OVERLAP THEM), USING A
KNIFE OR MASON'S TROWEL TO TRIM AND FIT SOD INTO IRREGULARLY SHAPED AREAS.
6.ROLL THE SOD LIGHTLY AFTER INSTALLATION TO ENSURE FIRM CONTACT BETWEEN THE SOD AND SOIL.
7.IRRIGATE NEWLY SODDED AREAS UNTIL THE UNDERLYING SOIL IS WET TO A DEPTH OF FOUR INCHES,
AND THEN KEEP MOIST UNTIL THE GRASS TAKES ROOT.
SLOPE APPLICATION
1.INSTALL THE SOD STRIPS WITH THE LONGEST DIMENSION PERPENDICULAR TO THE SLOPE.
2.WHERE SLOPES EXCEED A RATIO OF 3:1, STAPLE OR STAKE EACH STRIP AT THE CORNERS AND IN THE
MIDDLE.
CHANNEL APPLICATION
(SODDING PROVIDES QUICKER PROTECTION THAN SEEDING AND MAY REDUCE THE RISK OF EARLY
WASHOUT.)
1.EXCAVATE THE CHANNEL, ALLOWING FOR THE FULL THICKNESS OF THE SOD.
2.LAY THE SOD STRIPS WITH THE LONGEST DIMENSION PERPENDICULAR TO CHANNEL FLOW.
3.STAPLE OR STAKE EACH STRIP OF SOD AT THE CORNERS AND IN THE MIDDLE.
4.STAPLE JUTE OR BIODEGRADABLE POLYPROPYLENE NETTING OVER THE SODDED AREA TO MINIMIZE
THE POTENTIAL FOR WASHOUT DURING ESTABLISHMENT.
MAINTENANCE
1.INSPECT WITHIN 24 HOURS OF EACH RAIN EVENT AND AT LEAST ONCE EVERY SEVEN CALENDAR DAYS
UNTIL SOD IS WELL ROOTED.
2.KEEP SOD MOIST UNTIL FULLY ROOTED.
3.AFTER SOD IS WELL-ROOTED (TWO TO THREE WEEKS), MAINTAIN A PLANT HEIGHT OF TWO TO THREE
INCHES.
4.TIME MOWING TO AVOID RUTS IN TURF.
5.FERTILIZE TURF AREAS ANNUALLY. APPLY FERTILIZER IN A SPLIT APPLICATION. FOR COOL SEASON
GRASSES, APPLY ONE-HALF OF THE FERTILIZER IN LATE SPRING AND ONE-HALF IN EARLY FALL. FOR
WARM-SEASON GRASSES, APPLY ONE-THIRD IN EARLY SPRING, ONE-THIRD IN LATE SPRING AND
ONE-THIRD IN MID-SUMMER.
