Caring for Your New Sod
Fresh sod requires special care during the first few weeks to establish strong roots. Follow these tips to ensure your new sod lawn thrives:
First Week
- Watering: Water the sod 3–4 times a day for 5–10 minutes each time, but avoid letting it dry out.
- Evening Watering: Refrain from watering in the evening to prevent fungal growth.
- Foot Traffic: Keep off the lawn for at least two weeks to avoid damaging the delicate new sod.
Second Week
- Extended Watering: Water the lawn for 30 minutes daily. If the weather is hot, water twice a day to prevent drying.
Third Week and Beyond
- First Mow: After three weeks, you can mow the lawn, but keep the mower blades high. Avoid cutting more than 1/3 of the grass height.
- Fertilization: Apply fertilizer six weeks after installation to support ongoing growth and health.
