Originally bred in Australia, Celebration™ Bermuda grass is highly drought tolerant and quite visually appealing with its dark, blue-green color. With its low growing patterns and tough runners, Celebration™ requires less mowing than many other Bermuda grasses. … Celebration™
Prepare the soil by loosening 4 – 6” deep, removing any debris. Level the area with topsoil and smooth with a rake. Pre-irrigate the surface the evening before sod installation. It is essential the sod is not installed on a dry surface. Flag sprinkler heads to prevent covering the irrigation
Quick Tip: Gently touch the soil with your hands, if grains of soil stick to your finger pads, you are good to go!
SOD INSTALLATION
Lay sods just like bricks, in a stagger pattern. Line the seams next to each other, creating no gaps. Make sure the pieces are in contact with soil as much as possible.
Begin to water right away to start
establishment and prevent drying out.
POST CARE
Watering
Water is key when it comes to a new lawn.
Installation Day: The ground should feel soggy as you step on it; water, water, water!
First 10-14 Days: Water multiple times a day for short intervals. Depending on the weather, 2 to 6 times a day for 4 to 6 minutes at a time
Once Established: 1-2 inches a week. Irrigation is required as often as it takes to avoid stress. Stress means dried out, crunchy or wilted turf. Watering is a site-specific need and varies widely.
Mowing
At the 14-day mark, your lawn should be rooted and ready for the first mow. Be sure to check by pulling gently on the sod; do not mow if it comes up.
Preventative Maintenance
Fungicide
A contact/systemic fungicide application should occur within 24-48 hours after installation. This will help avoid install stress. After first application, a follow up application is recommended according to product
labels.
Herbicide
Wait a minimum of 14 days after installation before applying any herbicide to any turf. Assuming you are supplying your new lawn with enough water then your grass should be rooted down 2 weeks post install.
Fertilizer
Wait 30 days to fertilize your yard, you are then able to apply a dry granular fertilizer according to the label instructions.
At just over a month old your new grass is still establishing its root system. To expedite the rooting process, apply a dry granular fertilizer, we recommend Scotts® Southern Turf Builder granular fertilizer at rates recommended on the instructions on the bag. With more roots comes better moisture and nutrient transfer throughout the plant and an overall healthier stand of grass. Establishing a new lawn is a slow process, so be patient.

Wow! Best experience ever! Everything about this project was impeccable, from the initial consultation through the quotes through the actual install. I had ~6,000 ft2 of zoysia sod installed and the professionalism of the staff and crew really impressed me. The attention to detail and clear interest in assurance that I as the customer was happy both during and at completion of the project was evident. I would strongly recommend this supplier and will definitely be calling them back later to upgrade other areas of my yard.
