New sod how to maintain perfectly? New construction home in Denver, will have new sod in front and back, I’m looking for a guide to follow to maintain it to perfection. Ideally I’d like to use a manual reel mower and I have some other tools for edging and blowing. The yard is small, so I am fine to mow as frequently as needed to have it be perfect.

We do have two dogs so I need to think about patch repair, over seeding, fertilizing and bug/weed control. I think it will be kentucky bluegrass.

Is there a general guide for this grass of when to do what and with what products?
