Make sure area has been stripped – do not place sod on top of existing vegetation. Remove debris such as rocks and stones.

Roughly grade the entire area to eliminate drainage problems by sloping the grade away
from building foundations and filling low-lying areas.

• Till the existing soil top a minimum depth of at least 2 inches before adding any topsoil.
• Add 4-6 inches of quality topsoil.

Note: Our sod is roughly 1 - 1 1/2 inches in depth.

• Lightly tamp or roll the topsoil to settle the surface and create an ideal surface for installing the sod. Surface should be firm but not packed hard.
• To help with leveling, rolling the area with a lawn roller 1/3 full works well.
• Install underground sprinkler system (if desired).

• Measure your area. View our measuring guide.
• Order necessary amount of sod and schedule delivery or pick up for the day you plan to lay your sod.

IMPORTANT: It is imperative to install your sod on the same day you receive it. Sod is a living plant that requires immediate water, nutrients and air to live and establish itself.
