Why Do Homeowners Install Sod?

Having a beautiful, lush residential property is a priority for many homeowners. There are several reasons people have sod professionally installed, including:

  • You plan to sell your home and want to increase its value and curb appeal.
  • A healthy, lush lawn makes it easier for you and your family to enjoy your yard and make lasting memories.
  • You recently moved, and your new home’s lawn is in poor condition.
  • You’re hosting a special event at your home and need a healthy lawn for your guests.
  • Your current lawn needs improvement, or the grass seed you plant struggles to grow and thrive.

How to Care for Your New Sod

Once we’ve installed your brand-new sod lawn, you’ll need to follow some simple care instructions to ensure it continues growing healthy and strong. Fresh sod lawns require a different type of maintenance routine than traditional lawns. The following steps will help ensure your fresh sod lawn grows healthy and attractive:

  • Week One – It's essential not to allow your new sod to dry out, but also try to avoid overwatering it. You can do this by watering it three or four times daily for five to ten minutes. Avoid watering in the evening after sundown, and don't walk on it for at least two weeks.
  • Week Two – Water the entire lawn for 30 minutes a day. You can split this up into two 15-minute sessions if needed.
  • Week Three & Beyond – You can now mow your lawn, but be sure to keep the mower deck high. After your sod lawn has been installed for six weeks, it should be fertilized.

Sod Installation vs. Seeding

Are you wondering if installing sod or planting grass seed is better for your residential property? Seeding takes longer than sod installation, sometimes several months if the weather isn't agreeable. If you want to grow a lush lawn quickly, sod is the perfect solution. No matter what lawn shape you have, we can install your sod so it moves perfectly around your yard's features. If you aren’t sure if sod installation services are right for your lawn, we’re happy to discuss your needs and point you in the right direction.
