GRASS SOD


                           When is the Best Time to Lay Sod?


     We are often asked the question, “When is the best time to lay new sod?” Knowing when to lay sod ensures a beautiful, successful yard. Believe it or not, the most ideal time is either early or mid-fall. Spring is also a great time of year to complete this landscaping project, but due to the fact that grass continues to grow despite the cooler weather in early and mid-fall, fall months win this close battle between spring and fall seasons as the most ideal time to lay sod. Different times of the year may be better depending on where you live, however from a broad perspective, early and mid-fall are usually the best times of the year.



Got a shady area?

When you have shaded areas in your lawn that you must sod, choosing the correct variety of sod will help ensure success. Shade-tolerant varieties that will thrive in less than four hours of bright sunlight each day include St. Augustine and Zoysia. St. Augustine grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 8 through 10 and Zoysia grows in hardiness zones 5 through 10. Verify the sod variety you choose is rated for shade before spending the time and money on installation. The wrong selection of sod might result in poor growth and grass discoloration.
