Possible problem with new sod...PLZ help

I had Marathon 2 fescue sod installed in Beaumont, CA (southern California 2400 feet) one month ago. Everything was going great and the sod was growing very quickly. I spoke with the landscaper that installed the sod and he told me that I could now mow it.

I hired a gardener to mow the lawn, which he did today. The sod was at maybe 4-5" a blade. The gardener mowed the lawn to about 1/2 to 1" which I LATER found out is VERY BAD. Now that the deed is done, should I do anything at this point before it may die/turn yellow/etc? If so, what?

They want their 15 minutes of fame. I guess its like a radio talk show, the Q is asked and then the caller goes offn air for the answer.

Really, when it comes down to it, it would take alot more to kill the sod lawn than a one time scalping.
