Question
First of all, thank you for responding.
TO answer some of your questions:

We get plenty of sun on the front grass, its big and open.
I do have power to make things happen, its a matter of knowing exactly the right thing to do...the help will follow.
I appreciate your interest in wanting to supervise.
I have contacted the management to make sure the soil we are receiving is clean, contaminate free soil, its in the contract that the remediation expert has to sign.

We have a super to water, but should he use a
sprinkler, or rain bird?  We have no irrigation system.
Usually he uses a hose with a sprayer...it takes forever.

How long does sod take to root?
Thanks in advance for your answer to these questions and your interest in our project.

Answer
I wish I could give you a simple answer to this very simple question, my friend, but rooting is one of those things called a "process".  

So it's not like the dawn and the sun rising and setting.  

It's not something like water boiling at 212 degrees F.  

It's more like old age.  It happens, root cells divide, and they root most efficiently when the air is cool and the soil is warmer in well prepared rich loam.  

Hardpan, they don't root at all.  

Late last spring, I received several emails from different people all over who were waking up to find their green sod had turned brown practically overnight and they wanted to know what to do to "save" it.  Dead grass of course can't be saved.  

Some missed the rolling part.  

Others just didn't water properly.  

Two of them watered too much and their lawns were overtaken by fungus.  

For all of them, the biggest obstacle was not their mistakes.  It was the beastly hot temperature, a week after they laid down the sod.  All that effort and money, it went down the drain.  

I don't enjoy telling people they have to start all over again.  But even more, I hate bad advice that some people dish out, with the best intentions, usually they just don't know what they're talking about.

Luckily, you're ahead of the game if your super will take responsibility for the watering.  

The best sprinkler system is a drip irrigation hose.  These are cheap, reliable, and don't require any labor other than hookup and turn on/off.  Rain bird is really an old fashioned inefficient way to do this.  And the guy with a hose hand watering a huge lawn, well, sometimes the old fashioned way is just way to slow.  Home Depot sells the black hoses.

You really have to get this sod down and rolled as soon as possible.  I am not even sure where you can purchase this stuff.

It is unfortunately too late to seed but with your Code compliance situation, maybe that is not an option anyway.

Whatever you do, don't let your super or whoever put down any bug killer or grub control or anything crazy.  It will wreck your soil and pull the plug on the soil structure next spring.

It would not be a terrible thing if you tossed a hundred Scilla or Chionodoxa down on the ground before you rolled that sod, by the way.  They'll come up next spring and your lawn will be the prettiest bluegreen frontscape on the condo block.

Don't worry by the way, I was just kidding about the supervising.  I am not a stalker!  I do however worry about strangers dropping over to snoop...

As far as the management and the soil, I do think you personally ought to look at that stuff when it's delivered before they pour it out of the truck, at least get promises in WRITING so that you can follow up with Superfund Cleanup Damages if needed.  Hopefully your remediation expert will be reading the fine print.  Sorry to sound like such a skeptic - goes back to that old gardener's saying, One man's meat is another man's poison.

Thanks for writing.  Keep me posted.  Take pictures.
