Sod Installation in Cary: good to know
New sod lives or dies on water in its first weeks, so the watering rules in Cary are part of the install plan.
Can new sod or grass seed be watered every day in Cary?
Cary offers a 45-day exemption from alternate-day watering for new seed, sod or plugs, and it covers seasonal reseeding. It is limited to one permit per water account per year, so it is worth timing with your overseeding or your sod install. Source: Town of Cary: Watering Permit Application.
What are the lawn watering rules in Cary?
Cary runs a year-round Alternate Day Watering schedule. Odd-numbered addresses water on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, even-numbered addresses on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Drip irrigation and hand watering are allowed any day, and the Town fines violations. Source: Town of Cary: Alternate Day Watering.
NC State Extension notes that warm-season sod such as Bermuda and Zoysia establishes best from about April to July 1, once soil temperature stays above 55 degrees. Source: NC State Extension: Carolina Lawns.

Sod Installation questions
What type of sod do you install?
Tall fescue for shade and cooler seasons, Bermuda or Zoysia for full sun. We match the grass to your yard and how you use it.
How soon can I walk on new sod?
Light foot traffic after about two weeks. First mow once the roots hold, usually two to three weeks in.
Do you prep the soil first?
Yes. Old turf comes out, the grade is corrected, soil is prepped, and the sod is rolled and watered in.
