Now
that you have new sod, it is very important to take care of it
so it will last. We take care to provide you
with quality preparation and installation, but you will need
to make sure the sod is taken care of after it is put in
Traffic on your sod:
The first
two weeks are an important time for your sod to begin to
establish its root system. During this time, you should not
walk on your sod. If you have pets, you should keep them off
during this time as well. wait 3-4 weeks before resuming
regular traffic on your new lawn.
Watering:
Water is one of the most important things you can do to get
your new sod established. We will provide you with
recommendations when we install your sod, but as a general
rule, you want to keep your sod soaked for the first 10-12
days. This may take watering 2x a day or more, depending
upon conditions. After your sod has knitted to the ground,
you may resume with your regular watering schedule of every
2 - 4 days. During the winter, you should still water your
sod every 3 - 4 weeks depending upon weather and exposure.

Sprinkler Watering Tips
Some lawns require more or less
water, depending upon the type of grass you have.
Adding or removing one minute from the watering time
will change the amount of water you use by 25
percent.
Use the cycle and soak
method of
watering. For each assigned day of watering, water
your lawn 3 times a day, 4 minutes each watering.
Schedule start times at least one hour apart. When to water
Water between midnight and sunrise from May
to October to minimize water lost to evaporation.
Water during the warmer part of the day during
winter months to prevent water from freezing on your
landscape.
Monitor how many minutes you can run your sprinkler
system before water starts to run off the property.
Stop the run cycle at that point. Allow the water to
be fully absorbed before beginning the next cycle.

Cycle and soak watering
Our parched desert ground is very hard, making it tough for water to soak in very deep. That's why
we suggest the cycle and soak method of irrigation.
Set your sprinklers to water
grass:
Watering in increments gives the hard desert
earth time to soak up water. Once it's absorbed water from
the first round of watering, water again about an hour
later. The moist soil allows water to travel even deeper,
creating a healthier lawn. If you water too long in one
increment, the ground reaches a saturation point and water
flows into the gutter.
