The proper watering schedule for new Bermuda sod is essential for ensuring its health and longevity. Follow this schedule for the first few weeks after installation to help your new lawn establish healthy roots and grow into a lush, green oasis.

First Two Weeks:

During the first two weeks after installation, water your new Bermuda sod four times a day for 10 to 15 minutes each time. Set your sprinklers to run at 8 am, 10 am, 1 pm, and 4 pm. This frequent watering schedule ensures that the roots of your new sod stay moist and promotes healthy growth.

Third Week:

In the third week, reduce the frequency of watering to three times a day, but still water for 10 minutes each time. Set your sprinklers to run at 8 am, 1 pm, and 4 pm. By this point, your new Bermuda sod should be starting to establish healthy roots, and the reduced watering frequency will allow the soil to dry out a bit between watering sessions.

Fourth Week and Beyond:

Starting in the fourth week and beyond, water your new Bermuda sod once a day for 10 minutes at 8 am. This watering schedule promotes deep root growth and encourages your new lawn to become more drought-resistant over time.


It's important to note that your watering schedule should be adjusted based on weather conditions and rainfall. During periods of high heat or drought, you may need to water your new Bermuda sod more frequently than recommended to keep it healthy.

Remember, proper watering is just one aspect of maintaining a healthy lawn. Regular mowing, fertilizing, and weed control are also important. With the right care and attention, your new Bermuda sod will grow into a beautiful, lush lawn that will be the envy of the neighborhood. So, if you've recently installed new Bermuda sod, follow this watering schedule to ensure its success. Your lawn will thank you for it!
