Mastering the Art of Patience with Sod

Laying sod is a great way to have a lush lawn without waiting for seeds to grow, but it’s essential to be patient. Once sod is laid, it takes time to grow and root into the ground. Here are some key steps for successful sod installation:

1. Remove the old lawn: Mechanical removal is the fastest method. Use a sod cutter or grape hoe for large lawns.

2. Prepare the land: Plan and prepare the area at least two to three days before sod delivery. Sod can go bad quickly, so have it delivered to a shady spot.

3. Lay the sod: Follow proper installation techniques.

4. Post-installation care: Water the sod thoroughly and avoid heavy foot traffic until it establishes roots. Remember that sod is a better option for areas prone to erosion or slopes, as grass seed struggles in these conditions. Be patient, and your lush lawn will reward you! 🌱🌿
