Learn How to Care for Fresh Sod

After our professional landscapers install sod at your home, you’ll need to follow some of our sod care tips. Fresh sod requires a different type of maintenance routine when compared to that of a traditional lawn. You’ll want to avoid creating perfect mow lines or having a picnic on your new line. The following steps can help you ensure your fresh sod lawn is healthy and attractive:

Week One

Do not overwater your sod, but don’t allow the sod to dry out completely. Water your sod three to four times a day for five to ten minutes each time.
Avoid watering your sod in the evening. Make sure all of your water gets down before sundown.
Don’t walk on your new sod lawn for the first two weeks. Foot traffic is not good for fresh sod.

Week Two

Water your sod lawn for 30 minutes each day. It’s fine to split up your time into two 15-minute sessions.

Week Three & Beyond

Once your new sod lawn is three weeks old, it’s time to start mowing it. Be sure to keep the mower deck high. Don’t mow more than one-third of the length of your grass blades.
After your sod lawn is six weeks old, you can begin to fertilize it.
