Often as needed to keep the soil moist, as seeds may die when dried out. This danger has passed once the seed has germinated and grass blades appear, usually about 10–14 days after planting. Sod: Water well after installing, then use a full lawn roller to compact the sod against the soil base. From then on, water in the early morning for 10 days. Water heavily enough to wet the soil underneath the sod, but avoid overwatering that can lift the sod rolls up from the soil. Stay off the new lawn.

Avoid walking on new sod for the first week after installation, and go easy on it for the first month. Seed takes longer to become established. Stay off it until blades appear, then use as lightly as possible for six months. Once a seed-grown lawn reaches a height of 2–3 inches 5–7.5cm, roll it with an empty garden roller. Do not mow a seed-grown lawn until it is 3 or 4 inches 7.5–10cm tall, then mow no more than ½ inch 1.25 cm every few days until the lawn is healthy and well-established.
