• How do I prepare my yard for the new sod? |
|||||||||
| If you have existing grass or weeds, the best solution is to put Roundup (or an equivalent) on the area. This can be purchased at any home improvement store. The rate and application will be dependent on which product you choose and how large on an area you have. All information will be listed on the product or you can ask the salesman if you have any questions. We recommend that you wait two weeks from the time you treat the area until you install the new grass. Then, for best results, remove dead grass or you can set your lawn mower to the lowest setting, scalping the dead grass; your new sod can then be laid on the area. Note: If you just scalp your yard and then lay the sod over it, the new sod will take longer to root in because it has to grow through the debris and it will take more water to get established. Try to get your area as level as possible. This will help the sod root in as fast as possible and give you a smooth lawn with less holes. If you are installing the sod during a hot period (over 90 degrees) it is advisable that you soak your soil just prior to installation. |
