Why Late Winter to Early Spring?
Optimal Root DevelopmentDuring this time, the soil is still moist from winter but begins to warm up, creating the perfect environment for sod roots to establish before the intense heat of summer arrives.
Reduced Stress on New SodSod installed in early spring experiences less heat stress compared to summer installations, reducing the need for excessive watering and maintenance.
Natural Rainfall SupportEarly spring often brings moderate rainfall, which helps keep the sod hydrated and encourages deep root growth without relying too much on irrigation.
Stronger, Greener LawnsBy installing sod before spring fully arrives, your lawn has ample time to grow strong roots and turn into a thick, green, and resilient landscape by summer.
Key Tips for a Successful Sod Installation
Prepare the Soil: Remove debris, level the ground, and enrich the soil with nutrients.
Choose the Right Sod: Select a grass type suitable for your region and lawn conditions.
Water Properly: Keep the sod consistently moist for the first few weeks to promote root establishment.
Avoid Heavy Foot Traffic: Give the sod time to establish before using the lawn heavily.
By taking advantage of this prime season for sod installation, you can ensure a beautiful and durable lawn that enhances your home’s curb appeal. If you're considering installing sod, now is the perfect time to get started!
