Caring For Your Sod
- New sod is perishable and must be installed immediately to ensure a successful, healthy lawn.
- Use Bolero™ Sod & Seed Starter “pre-plant” fertilizer on the soil before installation.
- Proper watering of sod is essential for root establishment. The length of each watering cycle will depend on your soil type and the output of your irrigation system. Read on for watering tips for new sod.
- The first mowing should be approximately 14 days after sod has been installed.
- Fertilize your new sod with Bolero™ Lawn Food approximately four to six weeks after installation to ensure continued establishment of the roots.
