Caring for Your Fresh Sod

Newly installed sod requires special care to establish roots and thrive. Follow these guidelines to ensure your new lawn takes root properly:

First Week

  • Water three to four times a day for five to ten minutes each session.
  • Avoid evening watering to prevent fungal growth.
  • Keep foot traffic to a minimum.

Second Week

  • Water the lawn for 30 minutes daily, possibly twice a day if needed.

Third Week and Beyond

  • Begin mowing your lawn, but keep the mower deck high and avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length.
  • Fertilize six weeks after installation.

Proper care is essential for the success of your sod installation. The Grounds Guys of Carytown also offer ongoing lawn maintenance services to help your sod establish and stay healthy.
