This sounds like a euphemism for anal.

Trashy.

Sod'll move more when you walk on it than if you laid it dry.

Have a garden rake available to level out your footprints before you lay if it gets that bad.

Someone in thus thread will say to roll the sod. Rolling the sod with uneven muddy soil will do nothing. Rolling it in general will do nothing, but feel free to make it look smooth by pointing the blades the same way.

Also, if Alabama gets this rain tomorrow you will not get sod Saturday.

i actually soaked my yard with a hose before putting down the sod....

was told that actually helps the new sod root into the ground better.

EDIT: hand no issues - Centipede

Still sounds like anal

The amount of water under the sod has little to nothing to do with it living.

It is all about how much you put on top of it once it is down.

It is virtually impossible to over water new sod. Even if you have a full yard sprinkler system it is impossible to overwatsr the first week.

Will it be okay lay the sod even if it is pretty muddy?

what's the first thing you do after laying sod? drench it in water, roots are already in need of water from being cut, rolled up, compressed and trucked across the country, are you going to tarp it in case it rains?

If thick, really wet mud, don't do it without putting a layer of something dryer down. Either wait for it to dry a little or bring in some more dirt.

Throw that shite down it will live.
