I have some new sod getting rolled within the next few days and have a few questions.

  • How many days out of the week will I need to water until the sod is established?
  • How many minutes per zone should I water for on those days?
  • How long until I can switch to a regular watering schedule (2ish days a week)?

I live in the Dallas, Texas area.

  1. Every day (twice, ideally)
  2. It's not minutes but inches that matter. Check with the people laying the sod. It will depend on the sod.
  3. Until the sod takes (meaning you can't lift it up anymore).

One thing to be sure to do is properly roll the sod before the first watering.

DA.
