Watering

Watering a New Lawn

The first watering is the most important because it determines the longevity and performance of your grass.
Water the first piece of grass put down within 30 minutes of installation (water as you install).
For the first watering, thoroughly saturate the sod until you're barely able to walk on it.
Water should penetrate each piece.
When you can stick a screwdriver into the soil 4'', you've watered enough for now.
In hot weather, water the lawn while installing. DO NOT wait until the entire lawn is installed before turning on the water.
