What temperature is too cold for sod?
What Temperature is Too Cold for Sod? Freezing temperatures are too cold for laying sod. Although sod can be harvested and laid in late fall, when morning frost is present, if daytime temperatures are consistently below 32℉ (0℃), it’s too late for sod installation.
What happens if you don't till before laying sod?
If you till before sodding, you may encourage an abundance of weeds to sprout up through your new sod. Not only that, but tilled soil may settle unevenly beneath your sod, resulting in an uneven lawn with bumps and dips. If you don’t have compacted soil, it may be best not to till before you install sod.
