Sod Installation Prepare the Soil
- Rototill or spade the soil to a depth of 4 to 6 inches.
- Remove sticks, stones, roots and other debris.
- Smooth the soil by raking.
- With a broadcast spreader, spread one 40 lb. bag of pelletized lime per 1000 square feet, and Mahoney’s Garden Lover’s Starter Fertilizer.
- Firm the soil by lightly rolling. Fill in any low spots.
Lay the Sod
- Start at a straight line such as a driveway or walkway.
- Make sure all joints are butted tightly together, without overlapping or spaces between strips of sod.
- Stagger the joints in each row like rows of bricks.
- Use a large sharp knife for shaping sod around trees, at flower beds or along borders.
- Completely soak the sod with at least 1" of water. Start watering 20 minutes after the first strip is laid.
- Roll the sod to smooth out small bumps and air pockets. This will assure good contact with the soil
