Watering New Sod
Water the new sod for successful growth and establishment. Hydration is crucial for root penetration, nutrient absorption, and moisture balance. Watering also promotes root development, drought resistance, and dense turf growth.
1. Keep new sod “squishy” wet for the first two weeks of installation
2. Pull a corner of a roll of sod up to insure that beneath the sod looks like “soupy mud”
