ok all you guys I know this is a stupid question but does anyone know when you can walk on grass after it is planted? We planted grass in our backyard and it came in beautiful but we were unsure of when we could walk on it.
 
you want to wait until you mow it for the first time, so when it gets pretty high, like 4 inches, then only cut a little bit off.

If the grass is walked on too soon or too frequently, it can damage the delicate roots and hinder its growth. It is important to wait until the grass has reached a suitable height before walking on it, and to limit foot traffic as much as possible in the first few weeks.
