 o
Side by side sod

Posted by cterrell16 (My Page) on

I've got a picture of my Sod. It's two different pieces of sod that was installed two weeks apart. My concern is that one of them is not 419. The lower growing grass looks to me like 419. The higher stuff kinda looks similar. But the two grows completely different.

Is it the same stuff or not?

What is different about them? How long have they been down? Did you water them the same when you put them down? And, where do you live?

It's been down for a month or so. I live in northeast ga. I watered them every day for the month. This week I'm cutting back to twice a day for longer time. Then I'll finally get to once a week.

They were installed a week apart. They look different in the yard as you can see from the picture. One grows low the other high.

I am a rookie when it comes to determining side by side sod of bermuda. Hopefully TexasWeed will chime in on the post.

Here is another picture of the grass after a few days of growth.

The taller bermuda is probably common bermuda.
The shorter is some sort of hybrid.
I want to lean toward Celebration as it has a green-blue color to it.

How can I find out for sure. I paid for 419.

Do you have a problem getting the person/company to come to your house to answer your question?

RE: Side by side sod

Send an email to the place you bought it from and see what the can do to fix the problem. When was the last time you fertilized. that shorter bermuda could be tif that is starving for some food.

If TW responds I will stand corrected, but I have raplaced a lot of sod over the years. My opinion: both are 419, just cut from different times or locations on the farm. Heck even from different pallets can look like this. Don't fret. Treat them the same and by middle summer you shouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Thanks. That's what I am hoping.
