Hello everyone,
I need some help. I am a new homeowner and about a week ago, i had new Emerald Zoysia sod installed in my yard.
I'm here in Southern Louisiana and it has been very hot and humid.(high 90s). I have been watering the lawn twice a day (early morning and around 7:00pm for 15 to 20 mins per zone (5 zones). I thought that because of the heat my yard would need the extra moisture but I fear I may be over doing it, but I cant figure out how to tell the difference between too much water and not enough. My yard has a lot of brown spots still and one area that looks black.(pics below) is this still typical at this time (only a week after sodding). The new sod was so beautiful when they installed it so i know that it was healthy sod. This morning I pulled up some pieces of sod on the edges and I saw that the white roots are starting to grow from the bottom. Can you guys give me some guidance? I just want to make sure that I am watering the correct amount so it can grow healthy and this is my first lawn as If been living in an apartment so i'm kinda lost.
