St. Augustine Sod Installation

One of the many reasons property owners choose to install sod is its incredible ability to provide an instant green lawn that enhances the aesthetic appeal of their landscape. But what many property owners don't know is that sod has many additional benefits. Sod can significantly reduce soil erosion, improve air quality, and even help regulate the temperature in the surrounding area. What's more, a St. Augustine sod installation establishes roots quickly, allowing homeowners to enjoy a lush lawn much sooner than if they had sown seeds.

Our Process for Fresh Sod Care

Compared to regular lawns, taking care of freshly laid sod comes with unique lawn maintenance. It's very important that after your St. Augustine sod installation, you have to resist the temptation to mow your new line, and you have to refrain from walking on it. Here’s the process you can expect when you choose our services. We always ensure that freshly laid sod establishes evenly so it can thrive in its new environment:

  • First week: One of the most important things to know about newly installed sod is that it can never dry out but refrain from overwatering the sod. Aim to water the sod three to four times daily for a duration of five to ten minutes.
  • Second week: In the sods second week, you will have to increase the duration of the watering schedule. For about thirty minutes, soak the sod thoroughly for about one to two times a day.
  • Third week and moving forward: After the first few weeks, your sod should be established and ready for a trim. Remember to keep the mower deck at a higher setting to ensure the grass remains healthy and continues to develop a strong root system. Frequent mowing will encourage lateral growth, resulting in a denser lawn. Furthermore, be sure to fertilize your lawn with a balanced fertilizer to provide essential nutrients that promote healthy growth. And you will still need to water the sod every other day to maintain moisture in the soil to support the establishment of the type of grass.

It is absolutely crucial that you follow these maintenance strategies after the St. Augustine sod installation. However, if you would like assistance with maintenance, The Grounds Guys of St. Augustine, FL offer lawn care services to guarantee the establishment of the sod that will keep your lawn healthy for the years to come.
