Laying Sod and how to prepare soil for Sod
It's time to get your lawn back on track If your lawn is damaged and brimming with weeds. There are two options to choose from: Re-seed your lawn, or put down sod. While seeding is less expensive and requires less effort, it takes longer to create the gorgeous green lawn you want.
What exactly is sod?
It is possible to have an installation of sod Phoenix on your lawn by selecting an agricultural farm that operates in the same day as it is delivered. If it's not done properly sod installation can be lengthy and tiring. The laying of sod within the first 24 hours after harvesting is achievable by skilled people who know the work they're doing. If no other plants have been destroyed, there should be no issues with survival.
How do you install sod?
Get rid of the old Grass
Before you can lay sod, you must remove any soil or grass. To ensure that your garden is flourishing it must have at least one inch of soil. You can hire the sod cutter, which is basically two rectangular frames that have sharp blades on one end. The cutter cut through the root system and leaves dirt behind at the point of cutting. It's like the way that rolls are transported from farms.
Make sure you have the soil prepared
The success of a sod installation depends on the preparation of the soil. A garden rake, sometimes called a bow-rake is used to level the soil, and then break up dirt that is large. This makes it easier for the new roots to penetrate. To aid them in bonding to their native plants fast and easily, layer layers of lawn soil on the top. They shouldn't be laid over grasses that are already in place as they could cause them to die.
Put the sod in place
Before you lay the sod ensures that you soak the soil with the hose or sprinkler. Then, rake any footprints left by your previous patch of sod, and then roll it on the longest edge that is not enclosed by landscaping or concrete. Then, you can take any footprints off the following piece. Then, you roll another roll on these pieces until you have a brick wall pattern on all of them without them overlapping.
Trim Your Edges
You're almost done with the sod that has been laid. But, you might discover that certain edges aren't even. Don't worry! Don't be worried! Fold the grass inwards and then use a sharp blade to trim it down. The soil should be cut from the grassy edges down to the soil, making sure that you smooth any gaps.
Make sure to drink plenty of water.
For a period of two to six weeks, you should water the new sod two times every day. Then, you can take one corner of the grass and check whether it's moist, but not too muddy. Continue to water until the grass is bonded to the soil beneath it. It is also important to fertilize it.
