will sod come back if overwatered
Root Death. Pull up pieces of the sod in different areas after the sod has established for a few weeks. Healthy sod that gets the right amount of water will resist the pull because the roots are healthy and growing. Overwatered sod will come right up because its roots are dying or dead.f the soil is wet and mushy, you're watering too much. Let the sod dry out until the top 2 inches of soil are dry and crumbly. Washington State University recommends early morning watering, which allows soil and grass blades to dry out thoroughly during the day.
