IRRIGATION FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

• I have sod installed but irrigation isn’t on yet. How do I water it?
  If you have NEW SOD installed, you will need to keep the sod’s roots moist (without creating puddles) until it can root. It can dry quickly in warm weather and needs to stay consistently moist. Once you can’t pull the sod up in sheets, you can turn down the frequency of your hand watering but keep an eye on things until irrigation comes on.
