Sod Installation in Raleigh: good to know
New sod lives or dies on water in its first weeks, so the watering rules in Raleigh are part of the install plan.
Can new sod or grass seed be watered every day in Raleigh?
Raleigh Water has no mandatory watering days in normal conditions, so new sod and seed can be watered as often as establishment needs. Under a declared Stage 1 shortage, in-ground irrigation drops to one day a week and new landscape establishment permits are not issued, so check the current stage before a large install.

What are the lawn watering rules in Raleigh?
Raleigh Water currently has no mandatory watering days. Its standing guidance is to irrigate no more than one inch per week and never onto pavement. When a drought stage is declared the rules tighten quickly, so check the current stage before setting an irrigation schedule. Source: Raleigh Water: Conservation and Efficiency.

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.
