I just built a new home. Do I have to sod my yard?
No, the City does not require sodding of new yards. However, the City does require you or your builder to lay at least 3 inches of black dirt on the property. You have 8 months from the issuance of a certificate of occupancy to establish turf grass on the yard. The City recommends the use of drought resistant grasses such as the Fescue variety.
