Sod Maintenance
|
We at Grow Earth, are extending our thanks to you, for choosing us
for your sod.
The Kentucky Blue Blend Class A sod that we have selected for your
lawn does require routine care to maintain its lush beauty. You
should have a healthy lawn for years to come, by maintaining the
proper water and fertilizer program we recommend.
WATER
Water sod 3 times a day for the first 15 days (which is crucial
rooting period) Set sprinklers around 9 am, Noon, 3 pm, for 15 to 20
minutes depending on the heat.
Heavy rainfall will reduce your need to water as frequently Soil
should be kept moist to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. Do not water late
at night. As the roots grow deeper in the ground, (1 ½ to 2 inches),
watering can be tapered off but not stopped.
CUTTING
Try to stay off your lawn for the first couple of weeks or until sod
is firmly rooted. (Due to moisture content in soil, you may leave
footprints, which may have to be rolled out, or seams may not adhere
properly, if walked on prematurely.) Lawn can be cut after rooting
period has taken place, approximately 10 to 14 days.
Make sure to cut watering down enough to cut lawn, so you are able
to walk on it and not make footprints, but be careful not to let it
burn up.
Mow with a sharp blade, cutting no more than 1/3 of a blade at a
time. Cutting a second time (on the first cut only) , may be needed.
Kentucky Blue Grass should be left fairly long about 1 ½ to 2 inches
in height Late afternoon or early evening cutting is usually the
best for a new lawn ( gives the lawn less chance to burn after
cutting).
There is no need to rake if you have a mulching mower, unless
clippings are excessive enough to make clumps (which in time will
kill grass underneath, if left in place)
Rule of thumb: Mow new sod for the first time, when the blades of
grass re about 40 to 50 percent greater than the regular cutting
height.
Fertilizer
Since your
new sod has already been fertilized at the sod farm, we recommend not to
fertilize the lawn till the new sod has completely rooted itself.
12-12-12 beginner fertilizer is recommended. About three weeks from
when the sod is installed apply the beginner fertilizer.

Testimonials
Sod Replacement
I
was replacing a single
yard of sod that had died on my newly
planted backyard. Grow earth doesn't
mind selling small orders to the general
public and I spent 45 minutes with him
talking about watering, fertilizer and
upkeep. They were very gracious with
their time and very nice .If you
are a do it yourself-er and are looking
to re-sod a yard Grow earth is
definitely the company for you. I highly
recommend their service.

Manu
and his team went above and
beyond on my sod
installation.
I needed to have it done
quickly as my house was
going up for sale. They were
extremely responsive, tidy
and efficient. They also
went the extra mile as I
needed to have the new sod watered
when I went out of town. I
know that he has been
keeping an eye on it and I
feel as though I have been
in caring and capable hands.
Manu is a man who cares
about his work! The lawn
looks fantastic. I
enthusiastically recommend
Grow Earth.
Landscape and Sod
Installation
I recently had grow Earth
install sod and mulch, and
various shrubs around my
property. I would highly
recommend Grow Earth to
anyone looking for outdoor
services such as these.
Everything was installed
completed in a timely
professional manner. At the
time I was very busy but
Sheru was excellent in
working around my schedule
to get the job done. Ever
since the work was done I
have received many
complements |

We
purchased
three
pallets of
sod to
put around a
new
in-ground
pool we
recently
installed.
The sod we
got from
Grow Earth
was great
quality and
had no
weeds. ran
short and
needed more
sod, we made
the mistake
of
purchasing
sod from
another
place closer
to us - It
was full of
weeds and
nowhere near
as green. I
highly
recommend
