Buffalo grass

[SuzieK]

Hi there

Wondering if someone can help me, moved to a new home, family member offered to help with landscaping the grass was ordered but not laid for at least a week or so after it’s been around 5-6 weeks and there’s a lot of brown patches, dead patches and weed coming through will this eventually grow can I do more than water it for it to come to life or am I digging this all out and relaying new grass? I am completely devastated at the moment

Yes, it will fill in although it will take quite a while. It's best to lay sod immediately upon delivery to avoid those dead spots. If the spots are big it would be best to replace with fresh sod to reduce weed problems.

When first sodded, especially if it has been out of the soil for extended time, Buffalo grass needs to be watered frequently until it gets established. After that, it doesn't need much watering. It should fill-in nicely.
