What is the shelf life of sod? Why does sod have to be installed the same day as it is harvested?
The shelf life of sod depends on the time of year it’s harvested, we always recommend installing your sod the same day as it is harvested to prevent it from drying out. Because we fertilize the sod weeks prior to harvesting it, the longer it sits on the pallet, the more chance you have of it “building heat”.
