Care 101
Caring for newly planted sod is crucial to establishing a healthy, lush lawn. Here is a guide to ensure your area is prepped properly and your new sod thrives.
Soil Preparation
- Kill Existing Vegetation - It is best to kill what is currently growing in your space to reduce competition with new grass. Use a weed killer that kills the entire plant (including roots). Wait a few days to move to the next step!
- Till Soil with a Shovel or Rototiller- Break up soil to reduce soil compaction and make it easier for new sod to root into the soil. Loose soil also holds moisture better.
- Ensure Proper Drainage- This will help prevent issues with waterlogging which is vital to support healthy root development.
- Rake Smooth and Remove Debris - Using a metal rake - rake the dirt to reduce lumps and holes. Whatever grade you want your grass, create in this step! Amend the soil by adding top soil if needed. We recommend a sandy loam and 2-3 inches of loose soil.
Laying the Sod
- We recommend you lay sod as soon as you receive the grass as it is a perishable product! Work in a pattern that allows you to avoid stepping on the newly laid sod.
Watering
- In the First Two Weeks: Water the sod thoroughly immediately after installation. Keep the sod and soil consistently moist (not soggy) for the first two weeks.
Mowing
- Wait until the sod has grown about 3 inches in height and the roots are well established. This is usually about 3-4 weeks after install.
Fertilizing
- Avoid fertilizing immediately after installation. Wait about 4-6 weeks before applying a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy root growth.
Traffic
- Minimize foot traffic on the new sod to prevent soil compaction and allow the grass to establish well.
Brown Spots
- These can occur due to improper watering and poor soil contact. Ensure proper watering and check for compaction or drainage issues.
Edge and Weed Control
- Keep edges clean and manage weeds promptly to reduce competition and help the sod establish quickly.
