New sod – Go for spring or fall
Spring and fall seasons are the best times to lay sod in Florida.
- Make sure no freezes are possible before laying sod.
- As a general rule, keep the soil moist three inches below the surface when establishing the sod.
Newly sodded areas can be watered more often for 30 days.
- Days 1–10: Twice a day
- Days 11–20: Reduce frequency
- Days 21–30: Transition to 2-day schedule
