I had Marathon 2 fescue sod installed in Beaumont, CA (southern California 2400 feet) one month ago. Everything was going great and the sod was growing very quickly. I spoke with the landscaper that installed the sod and he told me that I could now mow it. I hired a gardener to mow the lawn, which he did today. The sod was at maybe 4-5" a blade. The gardener mowed the lawn to about 1/2 to 1" which I LATER found out is VERY BAD. Now that the deed is done, should I do anything at this point before it may die/turn yellow/etc? If so, what?

The grass will come back, and a good fall and winter cutting height for that grass is 2". Fertilize now with 'Scotts turf builder with winter guard'. IP: Logged |

you want to maintain it @ 3-4" nothing you can do now, just let it grow back out IP: Logged |

Marathon 2 is fairly low growing, and can easily handle 2" in cooler weather. Summer cutting height could go to 3", but there is no need to cut any higher....unless you want a meadow look. IP: Logged |
