Order and establishment checklist
- Measure the installable lawn area in square feet; choose the cutting allowance in the order planner.
- Confirm grass choice, current availability, cut date, and pickup or delivery timing.
- Finish the soil-preparation and sprinkler checklist before the sod arrives.
- Use the DIY installation sequence, or ask if professional installation is offered at the address.
- Follow a site-specific new-sod watering plan, then transition to deeper, less frequent watering.
A qualifying sod issue reported within 24 hours after delivery or pickup may be eligible for replacement. After the first 24 hours and through day 14, a qualifying issue may be eligible for an overseed remedy rather than sod replacement. After day 14, there is no standard sod remedy unless Red Desert Sod approves an exception.
Eligibility requires the sod to be installed and watered within six hours and the care and site conditions to be reviewed. The standard sod remedy does not cover sprinkler-system performance or irrigation-related sod damage. Any separate irrigation coverage depends on the written project scope and warranty.
