First-Year Sod Care
- Watering (Weeks 1-4) - CRITICAL: Water 1-2 times daily for 5-10 minutes. Keep soil moist, not soggy. This is the establishment period where most failures occur.
- Watering (Weeks 4-12): Reduce to 3-4 times weekly, increase duration. Encourage deeper root development.
- Mowing: Wait 3-4 weeks until sod is fully rooted. Mow at 3", follow 1/3 rule.
- Fertilization: Apply starter fertilizer at installation. Light fertilization months 2-3, then standard care program.
- Traffic: Minimize use during establishment. Kids playing and foot traffic stress developing roots.
