Irrigation Requirements
- ALL Sods need to be irrigated everyday for the first 2 weeks after you lay it. Check it to be sure it stays moist at all times. This may require irrigating more times per day depending on weather.
- For Zoysia, Bermuda, and Centipede: After first 2 weeks, you need to irrigate 2 times a week in mild temperatures. 90 + degree weather, 3 times a week.
- For Fescue: After the first 2 weeks irrigate 3 times per week in mild temperatures. In 90 + degree weather water every day.
- The best time to irrigate is early in the morning. Irrigating late in the evening promotes disease. You want your grass to be dry before the sun goes down.

Sod Calculator
Growing a lawn from scratch is very economical, but it can be tricky and time-consuming as well. However, laying sod provides many advantages over direct seeding.
Perhaps the greatest advantage of sod is that it provides an instant lawn. You don’t have to wait for the right season for planting or germination and growth. You can install sod in nearly any season as long as the ground is not frozen and it is delivered fully mature and weed-free.
Establishing sod uses less water than growing seed, too, which is good for the environment and your pocketbook. Finally, sod is fast to lay down, giving you beautiful landscaping in a matter of hours instead of months.
Steps to Calculate Sod
To calculate how much sod you need, you need to know how big the area is that you want to cover. Measure the length and width in feet. Plug those numbers into the calculator using the link below and let it do the work for you.
