What are the best methods to ensure my sod stays healthy?
• Proper in-ground irrigation system has been installed and ensures adequate, uniform, and consistent coverage. • Soil was properly prepared and recommended installation and maintenance procedures were followed. • Sod was installed on the same day as delivery. • Sod receives adequate sunlight (6 hours/day) • Sod has not been damaged by pets or wild animals. • Sod has not been burned by chemicals or fertilizers. Q: How long does it take to grow sod? The length of time it takes to grow mature sod will vary based on 2 things: Soil & Climate.

The reason it takes that long is the root system must mature enough to hold the sod roll together without it falling apart when it is harvested. Q: Do you have it to replenish the topsoil or black dirt in your fields year after year? Luckily, no. The truth is that we would lose more soil to wind and evaporation if the soil were bare, rather than us harvest
