Sod Lawns

 Sod, or turf, is grass with a thin layer of dirt that contains the roots. It is commonly used to create lawns in both residential and commercial properties. It can also be used to patch dead
spots in a lawn. Here are a few things to keep in mind about sodding.



1. Make sure the ground you are working with is level.
You dont want a lumpy lawn, so there is some prep work that goes into sodding. You can rake the area you are about to sod until it is smooth. This will ensure a level lawn and will also help with the health of the sod.

2. Water regularly
All plants require water, but new plants that need special attention. Make sure to water you new sod at least every other day. Be sure to do it in the morning so fungus and weeds won't grow with it.

3. Let your grass grow.
 Don't try to mow your new sod immediately after it is planted. Give it a few weeks to let the roots sink into the ground.
