Is The Best Time To Lay New Sod Grass Spring, Summer, or Fall?
Most people assume that the best time to lay new sod grass is in the spring or summer months, but actually, the autumn season is the most ideal time to lay your new grass. Why is fall the best time to have your sod grass installed? We’ll explore a few reasons why fall is recommended.
Temperatures Are Cooler & Help New Sod Grass Quickly Develop Roots (sod in September)
As the temperatures drop in the early autumn (Sod in September time) season, especially in areas such as Toronto, we also start to see occasional rainfall. The colder temperatures actually allow for your new sod grass roots to develop much faster. Also, with cooler temperatures, your sodding installation has less of a chance of overheating or drying out. The increase in rainfall enables roots to grow deeper and allows for your sodding to be established much faster. The rainfall also brings an added bonus to your daily sodding routine. It eliminates the need for you to water your sod installation constantly.
Timing Your Sod Installation Correctly
Sod in September, for example, means that you need to start looking for the right contractor well before so you are not under pressure to choose quickly. That also means that you need to make sure you have a proper hose and sprinkler for your lawn.
In any case, if you decide to resod your lawn, make sure to have a sprinkler and a hose ready as you will need to water your lawn regularly thereafter:
