For optimal results, sod should be laid when you or your landscaping professional is fully prepared to undertake the installation and subsequent care. Proper care of newly installed sod is crucial for its successful establishment. This includes maintaining adequate moisture levels. Periods of high heat necessitate frequent watering to ensure the sod does not dry out.
Additionally, it’s important to minimize traffic on the newly laid sod during its initial rooting phase. To support its healthy establishment, we advise against scheduling installations immediately before hosting events in your garden or any activity that would involve foot traffic on the sod.
Fairgreen Sod Farms ensures that our sod is of the highest quality and harvested at an optimal time for survival and growth, which means sod can be laid anytime between mid-April, to mid-December, weather depending. This flexibility allows for sod installation to occur outside the traditional growing season, with proper care still being a critical factor for success. During high-head, more frequent watering is required to ensure rooting and health of your sod.
