Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install sod on top of the existing grass?
No, you can't. The new sod can die. Removing the old lawn before laying the new sod is critical in creating a healthy, successful root system.
How soon do I need to install the sod?
Sod is perishable, so it needs to be installed within 24 hours of receiving the sod.
Does Green Acres Sod Farm offer sod installation?
No, we don't.
How much topsoil do I need to install the sod on?
You need approximately 4-6 inches of topsoil.
Do I need to fertilize?
Talk to our local lawn care professionals for more information.
Does Green Acres Sod Farm deliver sod?
Yes, please get in touch with us to set up delivery to your area.
How much sod do I need?
Please use the sod calculator on our product page to determine the total square feet of sod you need. You can find the sod calculator here. If you still need help determining sod quantity, please contact us.
How often do I need to water the sod?
Water daily in the evenings until the sod is saturated. Do this until the sod is established (approximately 2-3 weeks). Talk to your lawn care professionals to create a maintenance plan for your sod.
