What are the steps to laying down sod?
Question:
Answers:
The best thing that I could tell you is prepare the soil as if you are going to seed, put down a complete fertilizer something like 19-19-19 moisten soil a little but not so much it leaves marks when you walk on it. Lay the sod like you would lay block, stagger the seems. Start with the longest straight run and go from there. Be sure to water the new sod within the same day that you install it. near my shop a contractor just installed about 3 acres of bluegrass sod with sprinkler system and never watered. it is finally starting to get a little green after 2 weeks of cool temps and rain. Be sure to keep the soil down about a half inch along sidewalks and driveways so that it will match up nice.
look at the sod.. you can see how one end is cut on an angle. end to end.. keep the joints tight.. then you have to water the hell out of it.. your in for a real treat on water. try to install it when its cooler and sunny.. cut water usage in half
