After sod installation, it's essential to provide proper care to encourage healthy establishment. Generally, within the first two to three weeks, the sod will begin to root and merge with the underlying soil. Regular watering is crucial during this period to keep the sod consistently moist, allowing roots to penetrate the soil beneath. After about four to six weeks, you can start mowing the new lawn. Keep in mind that optimal establishment time may vary depending on factors like weather, maintenance practices, and the specific grass type used in your sod installation. Our experts at Adkins Landscape Contracting will guide you through the post-installation care process.
