Hiya,

Had a new lawn laid and have been watering daily and it's looking
pretty good. My question is, how long should I leave it until the
first cut?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Cheers

Ian


What kind of grass?


Stadium grass is made up of the following:
25% Perennial Rye Grass
20% Smooth Stalk Meadow Grass
10% Chewings Fescue
20% Slender Creeping Red Fescue
25% Strong Creeping Red Fescue

It's growing well at the moment and roots are bedding in nicely, just
don't want to set it back by cutting it too early.....

Cut it like you would an established lawn, don't let it get excessively
tall or you -will- set it back. If it looks like it needs it, cut it.
