We have a new patch of sod freshly laid in May (Southern Ontario region). The sod was watered well for the first two weeks and then we had rainfall in June early July to keep it going. It was doing fine until a week or so ago we had a heatwave and I decided to water the lawn for a good 4 hour soaking. The next day, after the sun dried up the water there were distinct yellow patches as if the sod was burned out. But it's sporadic rectangles, in the shape of the sod pieces. Is it possible I over watered? and if so, why would it look burned out. One problem I recall from this area is that it never drained well and the soil was always soggy, originally, before we did some landscaping and had to replace this patch for other reasons.
I have not fertilized in weeks, so it was not b/c of fertilizer burning.
Any thoughts? I wasn't able to come up with any searches that could explain burning due to over-watering - Thanks!
