	When To Install Sod?

Green Valley Turf Co. has harvested and laid sod every month of the year. As long as the ground is not frozen, sod can be installed. Spring and fall are the best times to install sod because of the cooler temperatures and more rainfall. Summer is a good time as well, however, more attention needs to be paid to watering and keeping the new sod wet for the first two weeks during the hottest period of the year.
