- Virginia Beach sits in the turfgrass “transition zone” (USDA hardiness Zone 8a), so both warm-season grasses like Bermuda and zoysia and cool-season tall fescue are common here.
- Warm-season sod like Bermuda and zoysia generally roots in best when laid in late spring or summer, while it’s actively growing.
- Tall fescue sod generally does best laid in early fall or spring, when temperatures are milder.
- Our sandy coastal soils drain fast, so new sod needs consistent watering until its roots knit into the soil underneath.
- It helps to match new sod to the grass already in the rest of your yard so the lawn looks even.

How do I water new sod?
New sod needs frequent watering at first so it doesn’t dry out, then less often as it roots in. We’ll explain what to do for your lawn.
