2)  How do I know how much sod to get?

On average, a roll of sod is 2’ x 6.5’.  That equals 1.4 sy or 13.0 sf.  So a 10’ x 20’ space would equal 200sf or approx. 16 rolls of sod.

3)  How often do I water newly laid sod?

You can not over water new sod * one word of caution * be careful of the surrounding established plant material that it is not over watered.  Once roots are setting in the ground, you can ease off on the water but, do not let it dry out.  Click here to see our Sod Care tip sheet.
