A Brief Reprieve From Insects and Diseases
Unfortunately, Florida is definitely known for having its fair share of plant diseases and pesky insects. From fungal diseases and brown patches to cutworms and chinch bugs, turf grass can become vulnerable to a variety of problems. Sod installation is ideal during the autumn and early winter because the majority of those bugs and illnesses no longer pose a threat to new grass.
Rain Comes with the Cold Fronts
Florida is also known for its hot and humid weather. Fortunately, it’s common for the fall season to bring about some rain when the weather gets cooler. This rain is exactly what your new sod needs to really thrive. Rather than risking installing your sod during a summer heatwave, wait until the safer and easier cool weather.
Impress Holiday Visitors
It definitely doesn’t hurt to prepare your new sod just in time for holiday visitors. You can impress neighbors, family members, and friends with a freshly sodded yard that looks beautiful and offers more function than your old yard. Just be sure to use yard decorations carefully to avoid damaging your sod!
