Tips for sodding a yard
Posted by pdubya76 on 7/24/14 at 8:37 am00
We are getting ready to sod our yard. We built last year and have been picking up nails and grading things out since. Where I live has some red clay but its not like other parts of the state. My plan is to spread some topsoil and put the sod over that. Any tips other than to get a buncha Mexicans to do it? Does anybody know of any deals on sod within an hour of McComb Ms? TIA

A good starter fertilizer (whatever the sod place recommends) is cheap and will help start the roots quickly. Apply before you lay the sod.

Also roll the sod after laying...
This, but also, make sure to bunch the peices very tight together, otherwise you'll have a bumpy lawn.

Till in a good layer of top soil into your existing soil and level it out. Install an irrigation system . Put down a good starter fertilizer. Lay out sod and make sure to roll it after it's placed. Water the hell out of it and stay off it for 2 weeks. If its in your budget pay some hombres to do the labor.
