Sod Before the Summer Scorcher

Typically one would think spring or summer is a great time to have new sod installed. However, if this summer is anything like the last, summer may not be your best bet for ideal outcomes for your investment in new grass. So the answer to this query is definitely to sod now. Having your sod installed in the spring will ensure warm enough temperatures for the sod to grow and root quickly but not so hot and dry as to dry it out before it gets an opportunity to do so. Planning your sod for spring will keep your sod from turning brown or, worse, the death of your new grass, leading to pits in your yard and an uneven landscape that can take quite a while to grow back in.

You may find that, for whatever reason, you cannot schedule your sod installation for this spring. Consider a grass type for your sod that will have a better chance of taking root in the stricter conditions of the summer heat, Zoysia grass, for instance. Zoysia is a hardy grass that tends to grow better than other types of grass under hot and dry conditions, including arid and dryer soil. This type of grass may also benefit your particular requirements if your yard has little to no shade and experiences browsing or damage from the extreme UV rays, heat, and drought-like conditions, which can result from the ground being stripped of fertile soil like in sandy soil types.
