Below are some of the most frequently asked questions (FAQ) about the types of sod we supply and common sod care questions.

How often should I water my lawn?

It depends on your location and season. Please check the Sod Care for specific details.

What kind of sod should I use with dogs?

No sod is completely resilient to dogs. Bermuda and St. Augustine are the most tolerant to dog urine; however, they too will burn. According to customer feedback burning seems to vary, probably due to varying soil moisture. A wet lawn will not burn nearly as easily as a dry one.
To help prevent urine burn, give your dog METHIGEL, a natural vitamin available through a veterinarian.

How Important is Ground Prep?

VERY important! A little extra work and money invested in soil preparation before you plant your lawn can continue to pay big dividends long after the memory of planting your lawn has faded. A good base will promote a healthy root system, which is the most important factor in starting and maintaining a beautiful, low maintenance lawn.

Can We Walk On Our New Sod?

It is best to give the sod an opportunity to firmly establish before heavy usage. That will prevent indentations in the moist soil and allow the roots time to grow deep.

Why do I have mushrooms in my new lawn?

Mushrooms are caused by just the right combination of water, temperature, and humidity. Since they need constant moisture, mushrooms often appear as a result of the frequent watering needed by new sod. As the need for heavy watering decreases after the sod is established, the appearance of new mushrooms will decline radically. Be assured that mushrooms will not damage a lawn; just mow them off and reduce irrigating so that the lawn can dry out between waterings.
