Kansas City Sod – Briggs Turf Farm…
New Sod Care:
New sod is perishable and must be installed immediately to ensure a
successful, healthy lawn.
It is not necessary to water the dirt prior to laying your sod. (This just
makes you work in the mud).
Water your new sod immediately after installation.
Kansas City Sod Care:
AFTER NEW SOD HAS BEEN INSTALLED – BEGIN WATERING IMMEDIATELY!
Please stay off new sod until after the first mowing. Proper watering of sod
is essential for root establishment. The day of installation, enough water
should be applied to penetrate the sod and 3 to 4 inches of soil.
The length of each watering cycle and how often you need to water will
depend on your soil type, outside temperature, wind or sunny vs. shady
conditions. You will also need
to water more frequently in areas beside driveways, sidewalks and other
hardscape features, and near buildings (these reflect heat that will dry out
the sod).
The goal during the first few weeks is to keep the sod and soil beneath the
sod moist at all times.
The first mowing should be approximately 14 days after the sod has been
installed. Mow your new sod on the tallest mower setting on your mower. Be
careful when walking across your sod to mow – it may not be fully rooted and
you don’t want to move the sod.
Kansas City Sod Care - After Two to Three Weeks:
If the weather allows you can start to reduce the frequency of times you
water at a gradual pace.
Deeper, less frequent watering will help roots stretch down deeper and
establish quickly into the soil.
Fertilize your new sod approximately four to six weeks after installation to
ensure continued establishment of the roots.
Now your sod is fully rooted----don’t just quit taking care of it.
Water and nutrients are essential to all life to stay healthy!
