Fresh Sod Maintenance Tips
Caring for fresh sod differs from maintaining a regular lawn. To aid your new sod in rooting effectively, follow these care guidelines:
First Week:
- Avoid overwatering but prevent drying out; water three to four times daily for five to ten minutes.
- Refrain from watering the sod in the evening.
- Keep foot traffic off the new lawn for at least two weeks.
Second Week:
- Water the lawn for 30 minutes daily, twice if needed.
Third Week Onward:
- After three weeks, mow the lawn with a high deck setting; never cut more than 1/3 of grass blade length.
- Fertilize your new sod six weeks post-installation.
