Services
Installation
Report
Butt or push edges and ends together, without stretching. Avoid gaps and overlays. Stagger the joints in each row in a brick-like pattern, using a large, sharp knife to trim corners etc. After the grass is established and rooted, give your lawn one deep irrigation per week. This may need to be in increased during extreme heat and drought times or decreased in rainy periods.
Watering
Report
Watering is dependent on several factors including time of year, recent and current rainfall, and type of irrigation/water method being applied. Generally you want to keep new grass saturated for at least two weeks. The idea is to keep the soil under the sod moist as well as the soil that comes with each sod piece.
Mowing
Report
Any pressure on newly sodded grass can make micro tears in the forming roots which delays development. Try to keep foot traffic at a minimum for at least 4 weeks. By week three if you have a fast growing variety of sod it will look like an established lawn however these looks are deceiving. Hold off on mowing as long as possible and at least until the uniform blade length reaches 3 1/2 inches.
Fertilizer
Report
When installing a new lawn, it's good to apply a half inch of Grade A compost over your existing soil. Avoid seasonal fertilizers that are high in nitrogen which may stress your lawn while it's trying to establish. All sod delivered by Eco Mulch & Sod is fertilized and treated for weeds prior to harvest.
Grass 101
Report
Sod is ready for harvesting between 12 and 18 months after it's planted, depending on the variety of grass. The extended growing period gives the grass enough time to form strong root systems which won't break apart. It's harvested using a tractor that cuts the sod at the desired thickness and width.
