So any future buyer should make sure that if you grass does not look good you should upon your inspection and or prior to buying said property put in a complaint. I would even suggest that you put this in writing so you have verification of your timely complaint.

I would hope that if this is the policy in T V that the realtors are told to explain this to potential buyers, we have been to two closing and no one told us about this condition.

Well, been here for a while and I think that the answer to new sod is WATER.

You are allowed to water more in establishing new lawns and new shrubs without penalty.

We have had two new homes the last just turned three years, and two decent lawns, but others have underwatered and their lawns showed the lack of it.

It is also the responsibility of the homeowner to fertilize and to debug. The sod. It is layed on a mostly sandy base and needs to be fed and cared for.
