What happens here

The best times to lay sod are early spring or late fall. Fall is particularly advantageous because sod can be laid when it's dormant, potentially in October, November, or even December. This allows the sod to remain dormant without requiring immediate watering or maintenance. When spring arrives and the snow melts, the sod automatically receives water, and subsequent spring rains will handle the remaining maintenance, resulting in a thriving lawn with minimal effort.

Goal: Lay sod during optimal conditions for minimal maintenance and best results.
