Frequently Asked Questions
Common Turfgrass Questions
Helpful answers to common questions about selecting and caring for natural grass lawns.
What is natural sod?
Natural sod is living grass with an established root layer
and soil or growing medium. It is harvested and installed
to establish a lawn more quickly than growing grass from seed.
How do I choose the right turfgrass variety?
Consider your local climate, sunlight, soil, drainage,
expected foot traffic, irrigation availability, and maintenance
preferences. A locally suitable variety is usually the best starting point.
How often should a new sod lawn be watered?
Watering needs depend on temperature, rainfall, soil, and grass
variety. Newly installed sod generally needs consistent moisture
during root establishment without leaving the soil waterlogged.
When should I mow a newly installed lawn?
Wait until the sod has rooted sufficiently and the ground can
support mowing without shifting the turf. Use the recommended
mowing height for your particular grass variety.
Can one type of grass grow in every climate?
No. Cool-season and warm-season grasses have different growth
preferences. Local temperatures, seasonal changes, and growing
conditions all influence which varieties perform best.
