Fall is the Best Time to Plant Sod in Northern Virginia

The early Fall or mid-Fall tends to be the best time to plant sod in Northern VA. This is because the temperatures have cooled down from the Summer highs and you tend to get more precipitation during these months. There is plenty of time between Fall and Winter for the sod to root and establish prior to dormancy which means in the Winter, your lawn will be healthy, full and easy to green up in the Spring.
