You have to take care of
new sod lawns.
Sod is living and breathing and it can die. You should never schedule a delivery of
sod until you are ready to install it.
Sod should never be stored for more than a couple of days, or all you will have is a bunch of dirt and dead
grass!
When you go to purchase
sod, you should make sure it is freshly cut. You should also look for
sod that has been grown on soil that is similar to the soil in your yard. When you install your
sod, try to avoid stretching it or leaving any gaps between them. This will encourage weeds to grow.
You should know that heat can build up inside a roll of
sod. As soon as it has been laid, you should take care of
new sod lawns by giving them a good drink of water. Allow the water to penetrate to a depth of six inches.
