Can you install sod in the winter?
Yes!
Installing sod during the winter is one of the easiest ways to get a head start on a new lawn!
The most common type of sod available in Northern Virginia is Tall Fescue, the most popular cool season grass in Northern Virginia.
Cool season grasses tend to stay greener during the winter in Northern Virginia. They continue to grow very slowly, meaning you can have sod installed and leave the watering up to the rain and snow.
Sod being installed during the spring or worse, summer, means you have to water it up to twice per day, using your valuable time when you could be doing other things.
Most sod farms in the area continue to cut fresh sod throughout the year if the ground is not frozen, so availability is not an issue and you get your new beautiful lawn going sooner.
