SOD INSTALLATION
Install your sod immediately upon delivery. Begin the installation by installing the sod
along the longest straight line of the area. Push the edges and ends against the other
tightly without stretching the roll. Stagger the sod as if you are laying bricks. Do not
overlap or leave any gaps. On the slopes lay the sod across the slope. To fit sod
around obstacles or in smaller places, merely cut the sod with a linoleum knife
(preferably on the underside of the sod). In hot weather be sure to put sod in the shade
if possible and sprinkle with water. Try to never cover sod with heavy tarps as this
creates heat and your sod will begin to dough. It is crucial to begin watering your sod
within 30 minutes of completing installation making certain the water penetrates the sod
at least 4 inches. Be sure to keep the sod soaked for the first 10 to 12 days.

LAWN CARE
Fertilizing
Colorado Turf Inc fertilizer is 20-10-5 with 3% Iron and 8% Sulfur and is available for
purchase
Mowing
While our sod requires less mowing than other sod, the perfect height to cut your lawn
is 3 inches (2 inches in the spring and fall is OK). Grass less than 2 inches is
susceptible to disease and is less likely to cope with heat. Do not remove more than a
third of the grass height during a single mowing. You may have to mow as often as
every 3 to 4 days when the lawn is actively growing but only every 7 to 10 days when
the weather is hot, cold, or dry.
