Sod post-poned

We are officially in a drought here in North-East Ohio. We are between 5 and 8 inches below normal. Most lawns in our development are looking quite yellow these days. Fortunately, we got our first rain in quite a while yesterday with a chance of more rain today so we had high hopes for our sod installation which was scheduled for today.

However, at 8am our landscaper called and said that the forecast until Thursday was around 90F / 32C or higher with little or no rain, aka 'no sod today...'

Our lovely 5-day forecast

Next week the weather is in the high 70s, low 80s which means a far better change of our grass to get attached and take root. With the weather being MUCH nicer by Friday - and far less humid as well - we now have our sod delivery and install scheduled for that day.
