What Is Sod?
Sod is pre-grown natural grass delivered in rolls, ready to be laid down. Unlike planting seeds, which can take weeks to grow, sod provides instant results, transforming your yard in a single day.
Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Sod
Installing sod requires careful preparation to ensure a long-lasting result. Here’s how it works:
- Prepare the Soil
- Clear away rocks, weeds, and debris.
- Level the ground with a rake to eliminate uneven spots.
- Aerate the soil and add fertilizer to promote strong rooting.
- Measure and Order Sod
- Calculate your yard’s square footage to order the right amount of sod.
- At CM Landscaping, we help you select the ideal variety for your climate and needs, such as fescue or Bermuda grass.
- Lay the Sod
- Place the sod in straight rows, ensuring no gaps between pieces.
- Press it gently to help the roots connect with the soil.
- Water and Maintain
- Water thoroughly immediately after installation and keep the sod moist for the first two weeks.
- Avoid walking on it until the roots establish (about 10-14 days).
This process can be challenging without the right tools or expertise. At CM Landscaping, we handle every step to ensure your lawn looks flawless.
