Step 3

Proper Installation

When installing sod, it's important to keep your joints tight and make sure you leave no gaps in between the sod. A brick pattern or staggered pattern is suggested While this seems like a simple concept, the size, shape and slope of your yard can present difficulties for inexperienced homeowners.

Step 4

Proper Watering

For best results, water new sod 3 times a day, 15 minutes at each station, for initial 10-14 days. This is critical to allow the roots to take hold and give strength and durability to your lawn. **It is important to note that current weather and sprinkler coverage can change the required water amounts and watering times.
