Question 4

How long does new sod take to establish?

Accepted Answer

With proper care, new sod usually establishes within 2-3 weeks, resulting in a healthy, durable lawn.

Question 5

How much do I water new sod?

Accepted Answer

For new sod, water immediately and heavily after installation, then keep it consistently moist but not soggy for the first 2-3 weeks, often requiring 2-3 light waterings a day, especially in hot weather, until roots establish (check by lifting a corner). Gradually transition to once a day, then to a deep, infrequent schedule (1 inch per week total), watering in the early mornings to prevent fungus, and adjust for heat.
