How much water does a newly installed lawn require?
The initial watering of newly installed sod is the most important. Begin watering immediately after installation of the new sod. Saturate the turf making sure that the water goes through to the roots into the ground. Keep watering daily for 1-2 weeks or until the turf roots in. After the turf “roots” in, it will need about 1- 1 1/2 inches of water per week.
