New Palisades Zoysia sod - winter watering
Posted on 2/17/24 at 6:12 am

I had Palisades Zoysia put down about 10 days ago. I’ve been watering twice/day 6am and 1pm for ~20 min/ea since then.
The grass is mostly dormant. At a distance, the yard is completely brown, but if you look at individual sod pieces, you can see a little bit of green mixed in.
I put down pesticide (chinch bugs took out my St Aug last summer) and Fungicide a few days ago.
Am I supposed to keep up this watering for the next month until the grass starts to green up and root? Should I drop to once per day? Every other day?
Thanks

How warm is it? You could probably back off to once a day as long as you water it very well since the sod is still dormant.

I’m in South Louisiana, so highs bouncing from 50s to 70s this month.

I had Empire Zoysia installed a year ago and my contractor said to water it twice a week for one hour and it worked just fine. You might be watering too much.

Thanks, installer said daily for the first week. So I’ve done that part.
I’ll cut back to 1/day when warm (70s) and every other day when in the 50s or 60s until it greens up.
I do see more green than a week ago, but suspect we need some consistent 70s before it will take root.

Continue to water once a day for the next week in the absence of rain. Pull on a few pieces to see if it’s rooted.
