New homeowner sod advice
Hi everyone -
I recently bought a house and the seller laid the sod down too early and then didn’t water/maintain it properly. By the time I closed and moved in, it was all dormant/dead. I have tried to revive to the best of my abilities with water but I’m looking for guidance/next steps.
I live in Denver where we are amidst a brutal drought and it is very dry. I’ve followed county rules and tried to water only briefly in early AM or evening.
At this point, after revival efforts, half of the sod is growing and the other half is dead. I’m considering seeding but know it’s late and the next 30 days are forecasted to be in the 90’s. My main concern is that weeds are endlessly popping up in the “dead” areas
/in between sod lines and it’s hard to keep up by manually pulling them.
I have metal lawn rakes and a seed spreader. The seller claims that this is Bermuda grass, but I’m unsure. So what do y’all think? Should I prep the lawn and buy seed or wait another season?
