Sod Installation FAQ
Quick answers to the most common landscaping questions in Northern Colorado.
What types of sod do you install in Northern Colorado?
We primarily install high-quality Kentucky Bluegrass blends and Turf-Type Tall Fescue, both selected for their rich green color, traffic durability, and ability to thrive in Colorado’s climate.
Why is soil preparation so important before laying sod?
Northern Colorado soil often contains heavy clay. Without proper tilling, compost amendment, and grading, new sod roots cannot penetrate the ground, leading to shallow root systems, poor drainage, and dry patches.
How soon can I walk on or mow my new sod?
We recommend keeping foot traffic to a minimum for the first 2 to 3 weeks while the roots establish. You can typically perform your first high-setting mow after about 10 to 14 days, or once the grass reaches 3.5 to 4 inches in height and has rooted into the soil.
How often should I water new sod after installation?
New sod requires frequent, short watering sessions (typically 2 to 4 times a day for the first two weeks) to keep the sod layer and underlying soil constantly moist while roots take hold.
