Preparing and Caring for New Sod
Successful sod establishment doesn’t just happen. It involves thorough preparation and careful planning to give the new turfgrass stand a healthy environment to root and grow. This blog post will discuss how to do just that, including when it’s safe to use herbicides on a newly sodded area.

Adding Activo
For golf course and sports turf sprays this season, consider adding Activo from Precision Laboratories. Activo is a unique new activator adjuvant (tank additive) with a green pigment. It improves pesticide performance while providing a natural green appearance. Increase the efficacy of your fungicide and PGR applications at an affordable cost per acre while giving turf a natural green appearance.
