Cleanup & Care
We finish with a full cleanup — no mess left behind, just a brand-new lawn. Before we go, you’ll get clear, Richfield, MN-specific care instructions so your sod establishes quickly and lasts.
The first two weeks are especially important. Fresh sod needs the right care to effectively take root. Here’s what we’ll walk you through:
- Watering:
Soak for 120 minutes after install, then 90 minutes twice daily (adjust for rain).
- Rooting:
After two weeks, gently tug the sod — it should feel firmly anchored.
- Mowing: Wait until rooted, cut no more than one-third of the blade, and clear clippings to prevent fungus.

“We recently hired Sod Smith LLC to sod our yard and couldn't be more impressed. Kaleb was personal yet professional, and Micah and his crew were respectful, hardworking, and did an excellent job. We also signed up for the Establishment Plan — our field tech, Cali, checked the sod weekly, adjusted the watering, and even did our first mow. The lawn looks amazing! Highly recommend.”
