  1. HOW TO INSTALL SOD IN 5 EASY STEPS

  2. Is your backyard lying barren? Or are you looking to enhance the visual aesthetic of your lawn by doing SOD replacement? Have you considered laying SOD? Turfing is one of the best ways to create an instant, beautiful, and lush lawn. You can lay SOD at any time of the year, but you must know the correct process to do it. You may also contemplate hiring the services of a professional SOD installer in San Antonio. If you are getting it done or doing the sod installation by yourself, it is always good to be aware of the steps of SOD installation.

  3. STEP 1: Know your soil It is important to understand how nutrients your soil is. You can buy a soil test kit, which is easily available in the market. To do a soil test, you need to take various samples of the soil from different places of the lawn and need to store the same in a labeled bag. It may take a couple of weeks to know the results.

  4. STEP 2: Take the correct measurement It is essential to correctly measure the area which needs to be turfed. There are tools available that help you take the measurements correctly. It is advised that you order slightly more than the measured area so that you do not fall short of SOD while fitting the same in your lawn.

  5. STEP 3: Clean the area It is important to clean the area by removing the dirt and debris where the SOD installation will be done. It is also vital to remove the old grass before the turfing installation happens. You can apply any glyphosate-based product because they are systemic herbicide products that are curated to kill weeds.

  6. Apply this product on the dry leaf of the plant, so that it soaks up the chemical well. For maximum effectiveness, make sure the plant is not wet or drenched in rain. Just give it a couple of days before you apply the same the second time. Now use the sod cutter to eliminate the debris so that only a smooth and leveled surface is left.

  7. STEP 4: Preparing and Grading To ensure that the new grass penetrates smoothly and deeply, to result in a denser lawn, you need to prepare well before the actual turfing. When you are done with cleaning the site, grade the area well using a hand tool or tractor blade.

  8. STEP 5: Lay SOD You can use things like a hose or landscape edger to cut around the corners while installing the SOD. Once done, roll the area using a lawn roller to smoothen the surface. You can also put some water for irrigation. So, the grass does not dry out.
