Your Sod FAQs Answered

When Can I Install Sod?

Unlike regular grass seed, sod can be installed year-round, even during the winter. However, midsummer installations will generally require more water to successfully take root.

Can I Install Sod by Myself?

Yes! After preparing your soil, you can install it by simply unrolling (or laying out) the pieces with the grass side up. Start by laying the sod along a driveway or sidewalk, and then lay down the other pieces in a brick-like pattern. You’ll need to water it within 30 minutes of laying it down. However, the pieces can be heavy, and you will likely need some help to lift and unroll them.

What Should I Do After Installation?

sodOnce the sod has been laid out, you’ll need to keep the base soil moist to help the grass take root. It is recommended that you water it at least once a day for two weeks after installation.

How Can I Identify Quality Sod?

In ideal circumstances, sod should be installed less than three days after it is harvested. Look for moist soil and dark green grass blades. Visible weeds or hard and dry soil are signs of low-quality sod.
