Preen Under New Sod: Unnecessary but Harmless

Added Preen weed preventer to topsoil before sod. 1) Wrong? 2) Wait to lay sod?

Preen Is for Beds, Not Lawns

Sod itself suppresses weeds first 1–2 years. Preen = unnecessary chemical.

Preen lasts months. Waiting weeks changes nothing. Lay sod now.

Avoid chemicals where not needed. Sod is its own weed barrier.
