Frequently asked questions
Sod Installation FAQ
What type of sod should I choose?
Selection depends on sunlight, climate, irrigation, traffic, soil, and maintenance expectations.
How soon can new sod be walked on?
Limit traffic until roots establish, usually after several weeks depending on conditions.
How often should new sod be watered?
Frequent light watering is common at first, then irrigation is reduced as roots establish.
Does old grass need to be removed?
Usually yes, along with weeds, debris, and unsuitable surface material.
Can sod be installed in shade?
Some grasses tolerate partial shade better than others, but deep shade can remain difficult.
How long does sod take to root?
Initial rooting often begins within one to three weeks depending on season and care.
Will sod fix drainage problems?
No. Drainage and grading should be corrected before installation.
Can commercial properties receive sod installation?
Yes, subject to provider capacity and site access.
