The first week of watering is critical. Newly installed sod should not be allowed to dry out:
• Water for 2 - 3 hours of sprinkling every 2 - 3 days (to accumulate 1 inch of water)
• Thereafter, maintain a moist unsaturated soil condition; watering as necessary.
• Once the sod knits to the soil (~1 - 3 weeks), change watering frequency to achieve a moist and thorough watering, allowing for natural rainfall and cool or hot weather.
WARNING: Continued over-saturation is harmful and can cause root rot, surface damage, and is wasteful.
