Sodding Quick Tips
- Give the sod it time to get well rooted before planning activities on the sod.
- Sod is quite dependent on you, until the roots have developed and extended down into the soil.
- Sod pieces should be laid over bare, moist soil in a staggered brick-like pattern, and the edges should be fitted tightly together to avoid any open cracks.
- Water thoroughly daily after installation to ensure for fast rooting.
- Once sod is rooted (typically 10 days later), water as needed.
