Installing sod is more than just laying down grass—it’s an investment in your property’s curb appeal and health. That’s why choosing the right professionals for the job is crucial. At The Grounds Guys of The Golden Triangle, we ensure that every detail is handled with care and precision. Our sod lawn installation process includes:
- Removing existing grass and weeds: We clear the area thoroughly to prepare the soil for the new sod.
- Soil preparation: We amend and grade the soil to ensure it's level, well-draining, and ready to support healthy growth.
- Sod installation: We follow industry best practices to lay the sod perfectly, ensuring seamless coverage and proper rooting.
- Irrigation setup: We help you set up your irrigation or sprinklers to provide consistent water, essential for establishing your new lawn.
Caring for Your New Sod
New sod requires special care to ensure it takes root and thrives. Here’s how to care for your fresh sod after installation:
First Week:
- Watering: Water the sod lightly and consistently, 3-4 times a day for 5-10 minutes, ensuring the soil remains moist without becoming waterlogged.
- Avoid evening watering: To prevent disease, avoid watering the lawn in the evening.
- Limit foot traffic: Keep off the new sod for at least two weeks to allow it to establish.
Second Week:
- Deep watering: Water the sod for 30 minutes each day, increasing to twice a day if needed, to promote deep root growth.
Third Week and Beyond:
- Mowing: After three weeks, you can start mowing your new lawn. Keep the mower blade high, trimming no more than one-third of the grass height.
- Fertilization: Apply fertilizer six weeks after installation to encourage continued growth and health.
