1. Prepare soil by removing rocks, weeds and debris. Till the soil to a depth of 4-6”(as best you can)

2. Level/grade  - level ground to be sodded
- keep surface approximately 1” below walks/driveways

3. Apply  an even layer of ferilizer (10-20-10) as recommended by         manufacturer then rake lightly.

4. Lay the sod- lay a strip of sod in a straight line keeping joints tight but not overlapped, lay a second strip staggering the joint to the first (like bricks).

5. Roll sod to ensure good ground conact between roots and soil

6. Water- 1st week-keep the sod soil moist (3x daily)

7. Irrigate – keep sod and soil moist for 2 to 3 weeks to help the edges to knit and roots to become established

Maintenance
- Mow as needed, never cutting more than 1/3 of grass height.
- Water as needed
- Fertilize as needed (keep childern and pets off fertilized grass to prevent skin irritation/burn etc as per manufacturer rec.) Despite the instructions on the box - it's better to fertilize LESS.
