For best results, you must lay your sod the day it is delivered. Be sure the area you want to sod is cleared of any existing sod and weeds. A sod cutter is the best tool for this. Lay down a bed of fresh black dirt so your sod can take root quickly. We can provide this black dirt ahead of your sod delivery. A layer of fertilizer is advisable, too. Ask us for the best product for your job. We can also help you, so you apply the correct amount. Too little isn't enough, and too much can kill your sod. Finally, water your sod right away. Give it a good inch and keep your sod watered daily and the sod moist until it takes root. Avoid heavy traffic and activity on the sod until it is firmly established. In most cases, this takes about two weeks. And pay attention to the weather, scorching, dry weather, but windy weather too can dry out a new lawn. Ask us. We will help!
Finally, your new lawn is maintained best with a sharp mower. Don't cut too close, and don't try cutting with a dull old mower. And always mow first and then water. Jerry's Garden Center has a large selection of garden hoses and lawn sprinklers to keep your new lawn healthy and beautiful.
