When to water grass sod?

If the weather is particularly hot and dry, you may need to start watering completed areas before placing the entire site. Water once a day after the first cut for the following week. Most lawn care experts recommend watering your new lawn on the first day of installation. Sod University agrees with this statement, since water is needed to prevent grass from drying out.

There are many exposed edges along the turf pieces that dry out quite easily, so watering more often and thoroughly is suggested during establishment. Start watering the new lawn within half an hour after placing it in the ground. Apply at least 2 to 3 cm. Ideally, the soil should be 7 to 10 cm.

With a sprinkler system, you can easily follow the proper watering recommendations for your newly laid lawn, as you can program watering times throughout the day, ensuring that your lawn receives the ideal amount of water and does not dry out.
