A Professor of Agriculture/Grasses/Weeds said the new sod must be removed immediately and new sod laid. I will not need to pay anything. He also said RoundUp not needed since spores have not yet formed, Wonder how the sod company will make certain this will not happen again.

Off topic: This is the key I don't know which direction it gets inserted: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008I6Y414?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

It looks like nut grass and common Bermuda.

New blue-rye sod was installed yesterday, OMG-- it has many clumps as in the photo. Anyone know what it is? Blades go in all directions. Will it overtake the lawn?
