The developer levels the sandy soil and sods. Nothing is added to the soil. The bushes that are planted are usually hearty for our climate. I have my irrigation system set to water 2 times during the starting March 1 and ending sometime in Oct. The lawn needs to be fertilized by you or by one of the many companies that do that sort of thing. The week you close on a new home you will have many people offer their service.
