Use a sharp knife or hatchet to cut around borders, trees and sprinkler heads. Water lightly and then roll sod to bring it into close contact with prepared soil. The sod should be watered to a depth of six inches after installation. After that, water twice a day for about a week to keep the sod moist. Once established, water less frequently but for longer periods so roots grow deep.
Deep roots account for a lawn's drought tolerance.
