New sod question. All this rain and holding water

i wish i could help you. i laid sod recently after revising some of my flower beds and i was told to water every day for about 15 minutes for about 2 weeks then every other day for about 10 minutes and not to cut it for 30 days. thats all i got.

Ok bump. How can i fix these two spots where it looks like the sidewalk is blocking the water from properly draining?

First off I'd make sure you don't have a water leak. Idk about down there but in NWLA it's dry as hell now. If no leak, Looks to me like you need a drain where the water is running over the sidewalk (stained area of sidewalk in Pic #2) You might cut a gap in the side walk and lay a piece of metal over so the water can flow. or tunnel under the walkway and install a piece of pipe for a drain.

God must be just watering your house then. . .

I promise you it has. Don't you live in abita also?

They're small storms, it is possible to rain in abita and not Mandeville.

Well those puddles in the yard are a result of a daily afternoon rain. It's about to rain again as a matter of fact.

ok, cool. I'll give it some time. thanks guys

Fill in the low spots with some sand to prevent water from puddling up. Grass will grow strait through it.
