DELIVER HEALTHIER LAWNS WITHOUT THE EXTRA WATERING
4-in-1 Turf Treatment Program for New Home Builders in Fort Collins
When you install sod in Fort Collins after grading and utility work, the soil underneath is often compacted, depleted, and slow to support healthy root development. New turf struggles to establish without consistent irrigation, and buyers notice thin spots, uneven color, or slow recovery within weeks of moving in. The 4-in-1 Turf System helps builders deliver healthier, greener landscapes at turnover by addressing soil biology, moisture retention, and early-stage turf stress in one coordinated program.
The Water Solutions Company applies four integrated components as a single treatment: A Pro-Active Turf Health Program that replaces traditional lawn care fertilizer alone. Fish & Kelp Fertilizer feed to support early growth and uniform color, Volcanic Shield to protect against insects and fungal stress, Bio Dust to rebuild soil biology after construction activity, and RSL water-retaining technology to lock moisture into the root zone reducing irrigation demand, and eliminating synthetic fertilizers and chemicals. The system is applied monthly immediately after sod installation, depending on your schedule and site conditions in Fort Collins.

How the System Helps Turf Take Hold Faster
The 4-in-1 Turf System is applied using spray equipment that distributes the blended formula evenly across established turf or freshly laid sod. In Fort Collins, where watering restrictions and drought conditions are common, the water-retaining component helps sod establish with less frequent irrigation by holding moisture at the root zone longer. You will notice faster root knitting, which means the turf bonds to the soil more effectively and recovers more quickly after foot traffic or equipment use.
After application, the turf develops more consistent color and density, reducing the risk of failure or replacement requests from buyers or HOA inspections. The organic, people- and pet-friendly components align with modern buyer expectations and community sustainability standards, making the system a strong fit for model home corridors, entry features, and individual home lots prior to turnover.
The program works well on new construction sites where soil has been disturbed by grading, trenching, or equipment traffic. It does not replace proper irrigation or soil preparation, but it improves outcomes when those systems are already in place. The system is ideal for townhome developments, master-planned communities, and spec homes where you want predictable turf performance across multiple lots or phases.
Most Builders Want to Know How This Fits Their Schedule
Builders often ask when to apply the system, how long it takes to work, and whether it reduces the need for follow-up landscape treatments during the build cycle.
When should the 4-in-1 Turf System be applied during construction?
You can apply it immediately after the sod is installed. Applying Solid Dew Hydration Crystals before installation gives soil biology and water retention a head start, but both methods work well depending on your schedule.
How does the water-retaining technology reduce irrigation demand?
The RSL component absorbs and holds moisture in the root zone, releasing it slowly as the turf needs it. This reduces how often you need to run irrigation during establishment, which is especially helpful under Northern Colorado watering restrictions.
What happens if the soil is heavily compacted from grading?
The Bio Dust component helps rebuild soil biology and improve nutrient cycling, but it does not replace mechanical aeration or decompaction. If the soil is severely compacted, you should address that before applying the system for best results.
Why do builders use this system instead of separate fertilizer and pest treatments?
The 4-in-1 program combines four treatments into one application, reducing the need for multiple service visits and making it easier to coordinate with your construction timeline. It also lowers the risk of overlap or gaps between treatments.
How soon will the turf show improvement after application?
You will typically see better color and root development within two to three weeks, depending on weather, irrigation, and sod quality. The system works faster when applied to healthy sod that is watered consistently during establishment.
