New Sod Care In Winter. There are actually a lot of benefits to laying sod at this time. Water your new sod lightly for five minutes about four to six times each day during the first two weeks.
Water your new sod immediately after it’s installed. Take extra caution on slopes. Mowing high is least stressful to the new sod.
Provide at least 3/4 inch of supplemental irrigation each time you water.
Care and maintenance sod irrigation in winter. Set your lawn mower at its highest setting, lowering a setting each mowing until the lawn is cut at 2 inches. If laying sod in the winter on a slope, lay the sod rolls perpendicular to the slope itself. Your lawn will need some minimal care throughout winter, to ensure a healthy and happy spring lawn, so don’t forget about it until then!
