Expert lawn care advice from Charlotte’s trusted professionals
Proper watering is the most important factor in successful sod establishment. New sod must develop roots quickly to become drought-resistant, and consistent moisture is essential during this critical period.
Begin transitioning to deeper, less frequent watering to encourage deeper root growth. Water once daily for 2 weeks, then reduce to every other day. Monitor soil moisture by checking beneath the sod—it should feel moist but not saturated.
After 6-8 weeks, your new sod should establish enough root depth to handle normal watering schedules. Adjust based on rainfall and seasonal temperatures.
