Hi,

So I recently laid sod down (Thurs. 7/5) up in the northeast. It was really hot that day, but it WAS cut and laid same day. I watered it "a lot" which was what everyone said to do, without really being any more specific than that. A week later, and there's some patchy spots throughout the grass, and I've been soaking these areas and it's not seeming to do anything.

Again, everyone I ask.. "it's not getting enough water, water it more."

Here's an updated picture. I'm no expert, but if the sod is peeling away from it's roll like that, how exactly is more water going to save it? To me this is something more than just needing water, can someone please offer an alternative explanation? I'm super bummed that I laid this all down myself only to see it wither away before my very eyes.

Thank you,

Christian
