FAQs

Watering frequency differs for new installations when compared to established sod care practices. 

Our experts recommend that new sod is watered for 30 minutes, twice a day (for one hour total). For the first two weeks, this should be done once in the early morning and once in the afternoon. Once the sod is established, consult your lawn maintenance team for ongoing watering assistance and best practices for your lawn.

For low-maintenance sod, we recommend Bahia. Bahia, also known as pasture sod, new construction sod, and side-of-the-road sod, is basic ground cover. Like any new sod, Bahia will need to be watered twice a day for two weeks. Once established, this sod variety is self-sufficient and does not require extra watering.

You should wait to mow your lawn until your new sod is established. The establishment timeframe varies from type to type, so we recommend using the "tug test" to see if your sod is established. 

Grab a section of your sod and pull upwards to test its resistance. If the sod comes away from the ground or rises easily, then it is not established yet. Perform another tug test in a week. If there is resistance, then our sod's roots are firmly planted and you may begin mowing and watering as normal moving forward.
