Hey guys, this is Taylor here. So, today I want to talk to you about new sod in Saratoga Springs. So, Lehi is growing like crazy. Utah County is growing like crazy, and we have a lot of new houses going in. We’ve had quite a few questions on, “When should we start mowing our new lawn?” So, one thing that I would recommend to stay away from your first few weeks would be any large mowers. So, if you are going to mow, I would say give it about two to three weeks.
