Sunday lawn care guide tips for new sod and seed

Sod:
You can absolutely use Sunday nutrients on your new sod! Sod comes well-fertilized from the manufacturer, so you'll want to wait at least a few weeks after installation to ensure it's well rooted and can’t be lifted off the ground before applying Sunday. ​​​​​​

Over-fertilizing your new sod after installation may do more harm than good, so we want to ensure your sod has had time to grow new roots before nutrient application. For addition information related to new sod care, check out ​this Shed article.

Seed:
You should try to keep foot traffic low as the seed is germinating and keep the soil moist. We recommend waiting for 60% of the seed to actively grow (roughly 3 weeks after planting) before applying Sunday nutrients. However, Sunday nutrients will not harm the new seed if applied directly after planting. ​​​​​​​​​​​​For additional information related to newly seeded lawns, check out ​​​​​​this Shed article.
