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.



By following these tips, you can help your sod thrive during hot summer days. If you need additional information or would like one of our professionals look at your sod, call Hartscape at 706-961-1955. Thank you...
