Before Your New Sod Arrives:
Kill
old lawn - For best results, water and fertilize your lawn so
that it is in a vigorous growth mode. Then spray with Roundup®
carefully following directions on the packaging. Roundup is a
highly effective herbicide that enters the plant through its
foliage and is translocated all the way down to its root
system. One thorough treatment will usually completely kill
your old lawn and weeds.
Remove dead lawn - Using a
sod cutter, strip away dead turf. You can usually find sod
cutters at your local rental yard. Roll or section dead turf
and discard.
Roto-till soil & install or repair
sprinklers - After removing rocks or debris, rototill soil to
a depth of four to six inches. Consult your nurseryman for
soil amendment and irrigation system recommendations.
Rake and fine grade - Rake to break large clods and
remove any remaining debris. Fine grade by scraping across the
surface to smooth uneven areas. Finished grade should be 1/2

After Your News Sod Arrives
Lay sod
immediately upon arrival.
Begin laying sod adjacent to
the longest boundary of the area to be covered. Stagger each
new row of sod so that seams are offset, as in a brick wall.
Butt ends and edges tightly together.
Cut sod with
heavy knife to conform to curved boundaries, planters, etc.
After first pallet of sod is layed, water sod lightly to
prevent wilting.
When all sod is installed, use a
roller in insure a good contact between the sod and native
soil.
Water thoroughly - To avoid having dry patches in
your lawn and to promote even growth, your sprinkler system
pattern should provide "head-to-head" coverage. See
instructions on maintaining your lawn for more
details.
Mowing should begin ten days after
installation.
