| Which variety is right for my application? Please refer to our Variety Chart for this information or the Grass 101 section of this website How do I prepare my yard prior to laying sod? We suggest killing all vegetation prior to laying the new sod. For best results, rototill or spade the area to a depth of 10-15 cm. Level the soil approximately one-inch below hard surfaces such as sidewalks and driveways. Lightly water the prepared area to settle soil and to provide a moist base for sod. How do I install the sod? We recommend installing your sod as soon as possible after delivery. The longer the plant stays on the pallet, the more time it spends without water and sunlight. We also suggest avoiding repeated walking or kneeling on the sod during installation or just after watering. A sod roller helps to increase the sod-to-ground contact. You can usually rent a sod roller at equipment rental stores. How much should I water my new sod? Do not water your sod while it is on the pallet. It is best to water your newly installed sod within ½ hour of installation and water it thoroughly (30-45 minutes). Then, for the next 10 days, water your lawn 2-3 times/day for approximately 6-10 minutes each watering The sod absorbs its moisture from the leaves until the roots are established. It is better to water frequently for the first 10 days than to apply deeper waterings less frequently. After the roots are established, you can move to less frequent and deeper watering. Water as close to late AM and early PM as possible. *Sod laid in shadier areas may require less watering *If your new sod is in standing water you are watering too much When can I mow my new sod? During the first two-three weeks, avoid heavy or concentrated use of your new lawn. This will give the roots an opportunity to firmly knit with the soil, and insures the sod will remain smooth. Mowing should take place after the roots have established. When should I fertilize? Our sod arrives fertilized. Wait 30 days before applying fertilizer. Here is an easy schedule to remember when it comes to fertilizing: Fertilize near Valentine’s Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day and Halloween Please remember we are here if you have any questions.
