[HELP] New Sod Dried Out – Started Watering Late, Can It Still Recover? 🌱 Hey folks, builder laid new sod about 4 days ago, but I wasn’t able to water it until yesterday due to travel. Now parts of it look yellow, dry, and even worse today than when I started watering. * I’ve started **deep watering 2 times a day** (morning and evening soak). * Some areas are **squishy**, likely from soaking hard-dry soil. * There are **gaps between pieces**, and some corners are curling. A few patches show **green shoots near the base**, but others are gray-brown and brittle. I’m trying to figure out: 1. How long before I see green again (if it’ll recover)? 2. How to tell which patches are dead vs. revivable? 3. When I should back off watering to avoid overdoing it? Any advice or experience would be super appreciated — don’t want to lose the whole lawn. I am based in Oakville, ON, Canada. Originally by u/Live_Bill2753 on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/ypak5xb9
