Essential Care Tips for Fresh Sod

Maintaining fresh sod demands a unique approach compared to regular lawn care. It's crucial to resist the urge to immediately indulge in activities like creating perfect mow lines or hosting picnics on your freshly laid turf. Instead, adhere to these essential sod care guidelines to foster robust root development and long-term vitality:

First Week:

  1. Monitor watering diligently - Striking the right balance is key—avoid the pitfall of overwatering while ensuring the sod never dries out completely. Aim to water the sod three to four times daily, with each watering session lasting between five to ten minutes.
  2. Time watering wisely - While it's essential to keep the sod adequately hydrated, refrain from watering in the evening to minimize the risk of fungal diseases and promote optimal absorption.
  3. Minimize foot traffic - To allow the sod to firmly establish its roots, steer clear of walking or placing heavy objects on your new lawn for a minimum of two weeks.

Second Week:

  1. Adjust watering frequency - Transition to a more structured watering routine, aiming for a daily watering duration of 30 minutes. Increase the frequency to twice daily if environmental conditions warrant additional moisture.

Third Week and Beyond:

  1. Introduce mowing cautiously - After the initial three-week period, you can gradually introduce mowing. However, exercise caution by setting the mower deck to a higher level and ensuring you never trim more than one-third of the grass blade's length in a single mowing session.
  2. Implement fertilization - Around six weeks post-installation, kick-start your sod's nutrient intake by applying a suitable fertilizer. This nourishment bolsters growth and fortifies the sod's resilience against stressors.
