Sod Installation in Apex: good to know
New sod lives or dies on water in its first weeks, so the watering rules in Apex are part of the install plan.
Can new sod or grass seed be watered every day in Apex?
Apex offers a 45-Day New Landscape Permit that allows extra watering for new sod or seed covering more than half of a yard's grass area. The Town does not grant it for overseeding an established lawn, so a fall overseed has to establish on the normal three-day schedule. Source: Town of Apex: Water Conservation.
What are the lawn watering rules in Apex?
Apex has a year-round irrigation schedule. Odd-numbered addresses water on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, even-numbered addresses on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, and no lawn irrigation runs on Monday. Hand watering with a hose is allowed every day. Source: Town of Apex: Water Conservation.
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.
