To care for your sod during hot summer days, follow these tips:
1. Watering:
- Water deeply early in the morning to allow the grass to absorb moisture before the
heat of the day.
- Avoid watering during the hottest part of the day to prevent evaporation.
- Ensure the sod receives about 1 inch of water per week.
2. Mowing:
- Raise the mower blade to a higher setting to provide shade for the roots.
- Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length at a time.
3. Fertilizing:
- Use a slow-release fertilizer to avoid burning the grass during hot weather.
- Apply fertilizer according to the instructions on the product packaging.
4. Soil Aeration:
- Aerating the soil helps improve water and nutrient absorption, promoting healthier sod during hot weather.
5. Weed Control:
- Keep an eye out for weeds and address them promptly to prevent them from competing with the sod for nutrients and water.
