NEW SOD WATERING GUIDELINES

Instructions are informative only, different soil types may require different amounts of water. Instructions do not account for rainfall or extreme temperatures outside of the listed temperatures. Please use common sense and best judgement when watering, if water is puddling then decrease the water, if browning have a professional pest control/fertilizer company take a look to ensure it is dry before you mistake insects for drought and cause root rot by over- watering. Warranty does not cover improper over/under watering.
