Tips on Laying Turf

• Sod is a living, breathing plant and needs care immediately. It should be installed the same day of delivery.
• In HOT weather, lay top half of all pallets as you proceed to prevent heating in the middle of the rolls.
• Select your longest straight edge to start laying. Stagger joints in a brick-like fashion.
• Keep edges and ends of strips tight together, but be careful not to overlap or stretch the sod.
• On slopes, place the turf pieces so they run across the slope rather than up and down the slope.
• On steep slopes, you may need pegs to keep the sod from sliding. Keep pegs in place until first mowing.
• Use a utility knife to cut or shape the sod. Sod cuts very easily on the dirt side.
• Install irrigation systems at this stage. Water to reveal uneven spots, then grade to correct them.
• Use soil to cover any exposed edges of turf when done laying to prevent drying out.
• You can roll your lawn after laying and before watering to smooth out slight humps. Watering also helps with this.
