Late summer and early fall are ideal for sod installation because the average temperature is cooler and consistent but in fact, still allows grass to grow. Though spring is the second ideal time to install, there are constant fears of a dip in temperature that could be detrimental to your sod growing properly.
This time of year is also ideal because you will less likely overwater your sod, which is not conducive to proper growth. To encourage root growth, there are specific instructions to the amount of water you should be giving your sod every day. When there are hotter, drier temperatures, you will find that your lawn needs more water, which can inhibit the root growth and impact the integrity of your lawn with fungus and disease.
