How To Lay Sod
Four Steps to Ensure that Sod Turns into a Healthy Lawn
Sod Omaha
Laying sod for your lawn is the easiest way to grow grass in your yard. Sod is best planted from Spring to the end of Fall when the ground isn't frozen. Preparing and laying down sod properly is one way to make sure that your grass begins to grow healthy and become green throughout the season. By following a few tips, your sod will grow into your soil easily.
1. Prepare the soil. Strip the soil of any vegetation it has on it. This is time consuming and you will need to exert yourself physically to take off any grass and/or weeds that are on the area you want to sod. Remove any rocks or debris that will get in the way of planting the sod. The ground should be graded (at least the top 1") and leveled to even out the yard, leaving as much of a flat surface as possible. Also, a good way to prepare the soil is to add the right amount of fertilizer and compost for the soil to continue mixing in nutrients to your lawn.
2. Laying out the sod. Rolls of sod that are adjacent to each other should be staggered between rows. For an example, it should look like bricks that are laid out. They're laid staggered.
And the edges of each piece of sod should touch the edges of each other. Make sure that they don't overlap. This will make for appearance sake a consistent green lawn. You probably will have to patch by breaking pieces of a roll and patching an area where the roll laid is imperfect.
3. After finishing laying sod. The first thing to do when you finish laying the sod is to make sure that the surface looks even. If there are parts of your sodded area that are lower than others, than you can add some topsoil to make sure that the ground is even.
4. Watering and mowing. The sod should be watered as soon as it's installed and every day for a couple of weeks to where the sod and the soil is saturated. You can lift up the corner of the sod to determine if the soil is saturated. This is critical until the sod in rooted. Your sod will dry out if the watering isn't done.
During this time, you shouldn't mow the sod, because it will create extra stress to the grass. Once you see that the sod is rooted into the soil, and is growing , then you can start mowing on a regular basis.
