I had new sod installed two weeks ago (central NC). I’ve been following the company’s watering instructions to a tee. I did a pull test on some corners today. They slightly come up, but I don’t have to peel too far back before I start getting resistance.
Should I switch to watering every other day to encourage deeper root growth? Will the edges be the last spots to fully root? I attached a couple of pictures.

Sounds and looks like the installer knows what they’re doing. I would just follow their instructions.
Yeah, root base is established (it will continue to get stronger as time goes on) and the sod is green and healthy looking. Also it’s getting cooler out so not as much water is needed. You’re good to go!
Looks like it’s growing OP?
So another good sign. If it’s not too hot start watering less frequently and keep an eye on it.
That looks great.
Looks damn good. What ever the installer told you is working! I see too many of my clients fescue sod installs go south. They never water enough lol.
How often do u water is there anything you doing u can share
