maybe you are overwatering. if the roots don't have to go anywhere to fidn water, they won't.

why don't you call the guys who installed it to see. if it is screwed up they should warranty it. but if YOU are doing somethign wrong they won't.

Keep it wet all the time the roots does not have to dig to find water..Cut back on the watering so the roots will have to dig down to find water..

Okay, thanks.

I think I had heard that if you don't keep it damp all the time before it has rooted, it will die. Thoughts on that?

"I think I had heard that if you don't keep it damp all the time before it has rooted, it will die. Thoughts on that?"

That's your problem. You are keeping the new sod satisfied and perfectly content with shallow watering.

You need to soak it, not damp, soak it real good so the water goes beneath the sod and into the soil. Then the roots will seek out the moisture in the depths of the soil.

I'd adjust the schedule now to soak twice a day for at least a week to ten days. Then cut back to once a day for another week to ten days. Later, start weening - Twice a week then once a week, then 1" per week afterwards.

Didn't the sod dealer / installer advise you on this?
