Installing a sod lawn requires more than just physical effort. It’s an investment, and you want assurance that the professionals you hire will account for all the variables that affect its success.
Here’s how we ensure your new lawn thrives:
- Removal of Old Grass and Weeds: We start by clearing the area of any existing grass and weeds.
- Soil Amendment: If necessary, we amend the soil to provide the best-growing conditions for the sod.
- Grading the Soil: Proper leveling and drainage are essential. We grade the soil to ensure it’s perfectly prepared.
- Sod Installation: Using industry best practices, we lay the sod for optimal results.
- Irrigation Setup: We set up irrigation or sprinklers to ensure the sod receives adequate water.
What to Do After New Sod Gets Put Down?
Caring for fresh sod is crucial to its successful establishment. Here are some tips to follow:
First Week
- Water the sod three to four times a day for five to ten minutes, ensuring it doesn't dry out.
- Avoid evening watering to prevent disease.
- Keep foot traffic off your new lawn for at least two weeks.
Second Week
Third Week and Onward
- After three weeks, you can mow the lawn, keeping the mower deck high and trimming no more than 1/3 of the grass blade length.
- Fertilize your new sod six weeks after installation.
