    Installation & Care Guide

    PREPARATION

    Prepare the soil by loosening 4 – 6” deep, removing any debris. Level the
    area with topsoil and smooth with a rake. Pre-irrigate the surface the evening
    before sod installation. It is essential the sod is not installed on a dry
    surface. Flag sprinkler heads to prevent covering the irrigation

    Quick Tip: Gently touch the soil with your hands, if grains of soil
    stick to your finger pads, you are good to go!

    SOD INSTALLATION

    Lay sods just like bricks, in a stagger pattern. Line the seams next to each
    other, creating no gaps. Make sure the pieces are in contact with soil as much
    as possible.

    Begin to water right away to start

    establishment and prevent drying out.

    POST CARE

    Watering

    Water is key when it comes to a new lawn.

    Installation Day: The ground should feel soggy as you step on
    it; water, water, water!

    First 10-14 Days: Water multiple times a day for short
    intervals. Depending on the weather, 2 to 6 times a day for 4 to 6 minutes at a
    time

    Once Established: 1-2 inches a week. Irrigation is required as
    often as it takes to avoid stress. Stress means dried out, crunchy or wilted
    turf. Watering is a site-specific need and varies widely.

    Mowing

    At the 14-day mark, your lawn should be rooted and ready for the first mow.
    Be sure to check by pulling gently on the sod; do not mow if it comes up.

    Preventative Maintenance

    Fungicide

    A contact/systemic fungicide application should occur within 24-48 hours
    after installation. This will help avoid install stress. After first
    application, a follow up application is recommended according to product

    labels.

    Herbicide

    Wait a minimum of 14 days after installation before applying any herbicide
    to any turf. Assuming you are supplying your new lawn with enough water then
    your grass should be rooted down 2 weeks post install.

    Fertilizer

    Wait 30 days to fertilize your yard, you are then able to apply a dry
    granular fertilizer according to the label instructions.

    At just over a month old your new grass is still
    establishing its root system. To expedite the rooting process, apply a dry
    granular fertilizer, we recommend Scotts® Southern Turf Builder granular
    fertilizer at rates recommended on the instructions on the bag. With more roots
    comes better moisture and nutrient transfer throughout the plant and an overall
    healthier stand of grass. Establishing a new lawn is a slow process, so be
    patient.
