When it comes to curb appeal, a lush lawn is a must-have for Florida homes. Florida is one of the best states in the US for beautiful lawns because there is plenty of humidity for plant growth. A single roll of sod will quickly transform the bare dirt of a newly landscaped space into a beautiful oasis, safe for bare feet and children at play. However, it can be tricky to get your sod to take root and become an integral layer of soft grass.
This is why you want to choose the best time of year to lay sod for Florida homes. If you’re wondering how to achieve the perfect sod installation for your home’s front lawn or backyard, you’ve come to the right place. Grovin Construction is your ultimate source for lush lawn sod and we know our stuff when it comes to transitioning fresh cut sod so it can thrive.
The Best Time to Lay Sod in Florida
When is the best time to lay sod in Florida? Sod is most likely to take root quickly and successfully in mid-Spring, between March and early April. This is when the temperature is warm enough for growing, but crisp enough to promote a healthy bond between the sod and soil. During these months, the weather will be sunny but not yet swelteringly hot with a whole growing season ahead of you.
Choose the Right Sod for Your Lawn
- Bermuda Sod
- Durable Sod, low-maintenance and resistant to changing weather
- St Augustine Sod
- The softest sod, prefers shade and a little higher maintenance
- Centipede Sod
- Extremely tough sod, rougher and great with more acidic South Florida soil.
- Zoysia Sod
- Durable sod with a thick root structure
