Frequently Asked Questions

Any recommendations for mowing new sod?

Maintain sharp mower blades to ensure a clean cut, promote healthy growth, and prevent fungus. Mow only when the grass is dry. Mow often, at a good healthy height of around 2 ½ -3 inches. Mowing at shorter heights will put added stress on the plant and require additional care.

How much should I water the new sod after laying?

Begin watering newly laid sod within 30 minutes of installation. Apply at least 1” of water so that the soil beneath the turf is wet. Ideally 3”-4” of soil beneath the surface should be moist.

What time of year is best to install sod?

One of the many advantages of sod is you can successfully install it anytime as the ground is not frozen. As long as it has sufficient water to get it well rooted. Sod especially loves cool temperatures and frequent rain. Summer can be hot and dry; be sure to water deeply and thoroughly in the morning and afternoon on hot days.
