Does aftercare depend on the property?
Yes. Watering and traffic guidance should account for the sod, weather, irrigation, site conditions, and installation details.

New Sod Watering and When Can I Walk on It?
A practical aftercare starting point for homeowners planning fresh sod installation.
New sod needs an aftercare plan that matches the property, weather, irrigation, and installation conditions. Ask General Sod for project-specific watering and traffic guidance instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all schedule.
Plan for early care
Before installation, confirm how the lawn will be watered, who will manage the first days of care, and what access needs to stay clear.
Ask about traffic timing
The team can explain when normal use is appropriate for the installed lawn after reviewing the sod, site conditions, weather, and rooting progress.
