- Water your new sod 2-3 times during the hottest part of the day for the first two weeks. If temperatures are over 90 degrees may need 4 waterings per day. Most important is to make sure that the sod STAYS WET! don’t let it dry out at all.
- Keep your new sod moist but do not soak. Water as needed to maintain adequate moisture. New sod establishment depending on weather, temperatures, etc.
- Change your sprinkler timer according to the demands of your lawn, and the environment. Common factors are: wind, rain, sunlight, shade, sprinkler types, and reflected light.
