SOD INSTALLATION TIPS

 Before you get started make sure you have the following items:

Sod, sod knife, starter fertilizer & spreader, wheelbarrow, rake.

1.  If you haven’t used a contractor to prepare the soil, make sure the area where you are going to lay sod has been raked smooth and is free from clumps of dirt or weeds.

2. Apply starter fertilizer before you lay any sod.  This gives the new grass food to nourish it in the first few weeks.  Apply at the rate of 10 pounds per 1000 sq. ft.

3. Start laying the sod from the back of the property line along the longest straight edge. Work away from this line so you don’t step on fresh sod.  Stagger the ends  (like bricks) to offset the seams. Butt all edges and ends to fit together tightly.  If your yard has an irregular shape, use a string line to establish a straight line and work from there.  Ensure each roll of sod has sufficient contact with the soil because any air pockets will prevent proper rooting.

4. Trim all edges around trees, sprinkler heads, sidewalks and curves with your sod knife.  It is recommended not to use small thin strips or scraps as smaller pieces tend to dry out quickly and fail to root.

5.  As soon as you have finished about one hour’s work, lightly water what you have done. Take care not to apply too much water to the prepared ground as this may cause the soil to become mushy.  Repeat this as many times as necessary until the entire job is complete.  Start irrigation system or water with a hose IMMEDIATELY!!
