Maintaining Fresh Sod: Expert Tips for a Thriving Lawn
When it comes to caring for fresh sod, standard lawn care routines simply won't cut it. While it may be tempting to show off your new lush lawn with perfect mow lines or even host a picnic, it's important to take the right steps to ensure the sod takes root successfully. Follow these essential tips to guarantee a thriving and beautiful lawn:
First Week
- Avoid overwatering, but don't let the sod dry out either. Water the sod three to four times a day for five to ten minutes.
- Make sure to water the sod during the day, and avoid watering in the evening.
- Minimize foot traffic on your newly laid lawn for a minimum of two weeks.
Second Week
- Water the lawn for 30 minutes daily, and increase frequency to twice a day if needed.
Third Week and Beyond
- Once three weeks have passed, it's safe to mow the lawn. Keep the mower deck at a high setting and never cut more than one-third of the grass blade length.
- Fertilize your new sod six weeks after installation for optimal growth.
