- Clear the space and treat for weeds. It is very important to start with a clean base. We will remove the old grass carefully and ensure the area is ready for the new sod.
- Prepare the soil. For the sod to take root successfully, good quality soil is a necessity. We will add nutrient rich compost, till it, and grade it to ensure proper root development and drainage will occur
- Lay the sod. This is the tedious part of the process. We will lay the sod properly, one piece at a time, to cover the area you desire.
- Roll the sod. We use special equipment to level out the sod and to make sure there is proper contact between the soil and the sod for optimal rooting.
- Water the sod. This is probably the most important step of the process. We will educate you on proper watering techniques to ensure deep root growth.
