The answer to 'sod installation dying' is that there can be several common causes, including improper installation, inadequate watering, pest or disease issues, or environmental stressors. Symptoms may include discoloration, wilting, or patchy growth. To troubleshoot and resolve the problem, it's important to first identify the underlying cause.
If the sod was not properly prepared or installed, it may not be able to establish healthy roots and thrive. Inadequate watering, either too much or too little, can also lead to sod decline. Pests like grubs or diseases like fungus can damage the sod as well. Environmental factors like extreme heat, cold, or drought can also stress the sod and cause it to die off.
