*The dirt under the sod MUST stay wet for a minimum of 2 weeks so the sod can properly root in the soil.
Mowing New Sod
Wait 2 weeks following installation to mow so roots take hold. Bag clippings after the first mowing.
Never cut off more than 1/3 of blade height.
It's best to mow more frequently than to cut off too much at one time.
Fertilizing New Sod
Wait at least 2 weeks after watering begins.
Apply a complete (N-P-K) fertilizer, which contains slow-release nitrogen.
We recommend starter fertilizer for the first six months.
