Advice needed for new lawn
My backyard was in serious need of a tune up so decided to completely remove everything and install new sod. It's been exactly two weeks since it went down. Seems to be coming along fine. Some spots seem to be growing a little better than others but overall it looks pretty good. I'm in Eastern Ontario. Installed a day it was cool and then we had torrential rain the following day. It's gotten really hot as of late (45 with humidex) so I'm doing a deep soak in the morning and early evening (30 min) unless there's a storm which today was unreal. I still haven't cut it. The sod itself does not pull up anywhere I try to gently or even hard for that matter. Question for the experts:
Should I be ok to cut this week/weekend and if so how short should I go?
What should I do next for maintenance? Fertilizer? Any other treatments I should look into doing?
Really want to succeed here and any tips/advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
