Love those roots

There are many times when choosing sod isn't the best idea.  In our climate, sod installed in the spring may not root properly prior to the summer heat stress.  The result can be grass which has to be nursed along for a whole season.

However, there is at least one time of the year when sod almost always yields great results.  Installing sod in the late fall, means there's little chance of it drying out.  And while you won't see much foliar growth over the winter, the roots will head on down.

The Fescue sod we installed three weeks ago, is pushing out some great roots, and becoming more difficult to pull up.

Come springtime, this will be ready to take on whatever wacky weather we see in 2018!
