| “Bermuda Tifway 419 and Tiftuf Sod Installation Guide for Atlanta Homeowners” Looking to transform your Atlanta lawn with beautiful, durable Bermuda grass? You’re making a smart choice. Bermuda sod is the most popular grass type in Metro Atlanta for good reason—it thrives in our hot summers, handles foot traffic like a champ, and creates that lush, golf course-quality lawn you’ve been dreaming about. Why Bermuda Sod is Perfect for Atlanta Atlanta’s climate is ideal for Bermuda grass. With our warm summers and mild winters, Bermuda sod establishes quickly and stays green from spring through fall. Here’s what makes it the go-to choice for Atlanta homeowners: Heat and drought tolerant—perfect for Georgia summers Recovers quickly from foot traffic (great for kids and pets) Dense growth that naturally crowds out weeds Deep green color that enhances curb appeal Proven performance across Metro Atlanta neighborhoods Step-by-Step Bermuda Sod Installation Measure Your Yard Accurately Before ordering, measure your lawn area in square feet. Multiply length times width for rectangular areas. For irregular shapes, break them into sections. Don’t forget to subtract areas for walkways, driveways, and flower beds. Most Bermuda sod comes on pallets covering 400-500 square feet. Prepare Your Soil (This Step Makes or Breaks Success) Remove existing grass and weeds completely. Till the soil 4-6 inches deep to break up compaction—especially important in Atlanta’s clay soil. Add 2-3 inches of quality topsoil or compost to improve drainage. Level and grade away from your foundation. A smooth, firm seedbed is essential. Order Fresh-Cut Sod from Simply Sod We deliver farm-fresh Bermuda sod directly to your Atlanta home within 1-3 days of your order. Our sod is cut fresh and shipped straight from the farm—never sitting on a retail lot. This means stronger roots and faster establishment for your lawn. Install Within 24 Hours of Delivery if temperatures are hot and Sunny Timing matters. Install your Bermuda sod the same day it arrives, or within 24 hours maximum if the temperatures are hot and sunny. Start along the longest straight edge (usually your driveway or sidewalk). Lay sod in a brick pattern, with seams staggered like brickwork. Press edges tightly together—no gaps or overlaps. Use a sharp knife to cut around obstacles. Water Immediately and Properly This is critical: Water thoroughly within 30 minutes of installation. Your new Bermuda sod needs 1-1.5 inches of water daily for the first 2 weeks. Water early morning to reduce evaporation. Check moisture by lifting a corner—soil underneath should be damp, not soggy. First Mowing and Ongoing Care Wait 2-3 weeks before first mowing. Only mow when grass reaches 2-3 inches. Set mower to 1.5-2 inches height. Keep blades sharp for clean cuts. After 4 weeks, reduce watering to 2-3 times per week. Apply starter fertilizer 4-6 weeks after installation. Common Bermuda Sod Installation Mistakes to Avoid Don’t install in shade—Bermuda needs 6-8 hours of full sun daily. In shaded areas, consider Fescue or Zoysia instead. Don’t let sod dry out—Even an hour of direct sun on uninstalled sod can damage it. Work in sections and keep uninstalled rolls in shade. Don’t walk on new sod unnecessarily—Give it 2-3 weeks to root before heavy traffic. Don’t scalp on first mowing—Only remove 1/3 of blade height per mowing. Best Time to Install Bermuda Sod in Atlanta Late spring through early fall is ideal (April through September). Soil temperatures above 65°F promote fast root growth. Summer installation works great with proper watering. Avoid installing during drought conditions or extreme heat waves.
