A quick Google search and this one is all over the place, so thought I'd get the experts to chime in. When is the right time to mow new sod and should it be bagged or mulched? Thanks and Happy 4th!!

I asked the same question a while ago. Consensus seems to be that if you go pull on some pieces and they don't budge then you are good to cut. If any are loose you need to wait until rooted. As far as bagging a lot of that is personal preference. I catch the clippings if I am cutting more than a 1/4" off. If you don't catch the clippings they need to be small enough where they can work down in to the canopy instead of just laying on top.
