 When should I water new sod? Page Tools
As a rule of thumb everyday the first week, every second day the second week and every third day the third week. Light rain is not enough to support sod.
 
It is better to water early in the morning or in the evening. If finished sodding mid-day don't wait until evening to water. Roll then water the sod as soon as it is finished being layed.
 
Water lightly and for a long time (deep watering) so the water soaks in and doesn't run off.
       
Proper watering ensures a strong root systemShallow vs. deep watering
