I need help professional help installing the sod. How long does sod take to root Commercial sod typically takes two to four weeks to establish a good root system, although it may be brown and dormant-looking for the first week or two. The key is to keep the soil moist (but not wet) during this time. If you are not able to water it regularly, consider hiring a professional to install it for you.

It can take a week or two for the sod to fully take root and start growing. In the meantime, make sure to water it regularly (at least once per day) so that it doesn't dry out. You may also need to mow it a few times in the first few weeks until it's fully established.
