1. |
Prepare your soil - work soil up to release compaction. Sod needs a base of 4-6" of good quality
screened topsoil. Grade soil to slope away from house for good drainage and lightly roll.

2. |
To determine how much sod you need, measure square footage of area. Pick up sod or arrange
delivery on the day you plan to install.

3. |
To lay your sod, determine your first row by locating a straight line (either by string or driveway).
Stagger the pieces as you move row to row (like laying a brick) so ends dont's line up. Place tightly
together - don't overlap! Stake the soil installed on a slope. Roll with a water filled roller (1/3 full)
to make sure sod and soil are in good contact and remove air pockets.
