Watering schedule for new sodWater new sod immediately after installation. For the first 2 weeks, water 2–3 times daily to keep the soil moist (not soggy). Weeks 3–4, reduce to once daily. After 4 weeks, transition to a deep watering schedule of 1 inch per week. Avoid walking on new sod for the first 2–3 weeks to allow roots to establish.
