Wait 2–4 weeks until the turf is firmly rooted. Keep it at 25–50 mm and never remove more than a third of the leaf at once.
Apply a starter fertiliser 4–6 weeks after installation, then every 8–12 weeks through the growing season. Avoid fertilising in winter.

Kikuyu is fast growing, so it needs more frequent mowing, especially through summer. Keep it between 25 and 50 mm.
