Frequently asked questions

How do you protect a new lawn or flower bed?
New grass and freshly planted beds are vulnerable while they establish — young grass seed and small plants are easily trampled, and even a few weeks of being left alone makes a big difference to how well they take. A clear, polite sign is a simple, friendly way to ask people (and remind family) to keep off while things grow, and it's especially handy for new turf or seed, which needs time to root before it can take foot traffic. Beyond a sign, you can gently cordon off the area with string and canes, water new planting well, and keep balls and pets away. Wording the sign kindly ('newly planted, please take care') tends to get more cooperation than a stern 'keep off', and laminating it or using a weatherproof version keeps it legible outdoors through the weather. Once established, the lawn or border will be far more robust.
