Properly caring for new sod goes beyond routine watering; it also benefits from the timely application of fertilizers to promote root establishment within your soil. While it’s important to safeguard this new growth from potential threats, applying insecticides and fungicides can be a prudent measure to control pests and avert fungal infections. However, caution is warranted when it comes to weed control. It’s advisable to postpone the use of even those herbicides labeled as safe for turf, as they can still harm new sod during its critical phase of vigorous growth.

When laying new sod, it’s essential to place it on top of prepared and graded topsoil rather than over an existing lawn. Failing to do so can lead to weeds creeping up through the sod, and the risk of uneven elevations — not to mention the possibility of the new sod dying. Although new sod can be installed adjacent to an existing lawn to mend dead patches, keep in mind that the disparity between the old and new sections could be quite apparent for a while

Brown spots appearing on your new sod may indicate a range of issues from the severe, such as lawn disease, to something more manageable like the need to adjust your watering practices. Additionally, the presence of pests, which find new sod an attractive habitat, can contribute to these problems. Pets can also affect the health of your sod; where they relieve themselves can particularly harm sod that has not yet fully established.

Sod that is ordered during the peak of summer heat, its freshness is significantly reduced, and it may last for only 24 hours or less before installation. It’s important to note that watering the sod while it’s still stacked on the pallet won’t prevent it from going bad. The deterioration of the sod is primarily due to the heat generated by decomposition rather than a lack of moisture.

Every piece of sod measures 2 feet in width and 5 feet in length. A single pallet contains 70 rolls of sod, which collectively provide enough coverage for an area of 700 square feet.
