In Oklahoma, Bermuda sod is best installed in late spring to early summer, typically between mid-May and early June, when soil temperatures consistently reach around 65°F to 70°F. This timing allows the grass to establish roots and thrive during the warm growing season. It's important to avoid laying sod too early, as colder temperatures can hinder growth. Proper preparation and watering are key to ensuring successful establishment.
Laid.
I am not sure of the 'official' answer, but we put zoysia down in our backyard over the top of an established burmuda grass and it has done very well... we first ran a rototiller over the top of the burmuda and took out the 'clumps' of burmuda grass that this created... smoothed it with a rake and then laid the zoysia sod on top... it now looks great.... hope this helps...
To put down sod yourself, first prepare the soil by removing debris and tilling the ground. Then, lay the sod in a staggered pattern, ensuring the edges are tightly butted together. Water the sod immediately after installation and regularly thereafter to help it establish.
Yes, you can put sod down in the winter months, but it may not establish as quickly as it would in warmer months. It's important to ensure the ground is not frozen and to provide proper care to help the sod take root.
No, it is not recommended to put sod on top of existing grass because the existing grass will prevent the new sod from establishing roots properly. It is best to remove the existing grass before laying down new sod for optimal growth.

Bermuda is a warm season grass (it goes dormant in the winter), so it is not advised to plant after August. The sod needs warm temperatures for several weeks to product healthy roots.
To properly put down sod in your yard, first prepare the soil by removing any debris and loosening the top layer. Lay the sod in a staggered pattern, ensuring the edges are tightly butted together. Water the sod immediately after installation and keep it consistently moist for the first few weeks. Avoid walking on the sod until it has rooted into the soil, typically within 2-3 weeks.

The best time to put down sod for optimal growth and establishment is during the early fall or early spring when the weather is cooler and there is more moisture in the soil. This allows the sod to take root and establish itself before the extreme temperatures of summer or winter.
I just purchased hybrid Bermuda - 2200 sq ft for $675
It would be a good idea to put down black dirt before you lay sod in any area.
