I'm having a new lawn sodded and I currently get my lawn cut every

new sod it has to be cut every week. Any truth to that?

Thanks.

First, I'd follow the directions of the sod installers, not the guy
that mows your grass. Any grass should be cut as often as it needs to
be, which is going to vary depending on the type of grass and
environment, which we have no way of knowing. A lawn somewhere where
it's a cool overcast Fall now is going to be growing a lot slower than
somewhere where it's warm and sunny. Ideally, each mowing should
remove no more than 1/3 of the grass height.
