SOD INSTALLATION Sod installation is a common practice used by McCalls Lawn Care to give lawns a finished, aesthetically pleasing look. Sod is essentially a pre-grown turf that is laid down over the lawn, rather than starting from seed. There are a few key steps involved in the installation of sod, these include:
1. Preparing the soil. This involves loosening and tilling the soil, removing any weeds or debris, and adding organic matter like compost.
2. Fertilizing the soil. This step will help enrich the soil and give the new sod an opportunity to take root.
3. Laying the sod. This requires placing the sod in strips, appropriately overlapping the pieces, and carefully rolling the sod to ensure a tight bond between the pieces.
4. Watering the sod. This is one of the most important steps as it will allow the sod to take root and survive. Watering should occur several times a day, and overhead irrigation systems can be installed to make sure the sod gets the right amount of water.
5. Adding mulch. This not only helps the sod to retain moisture, but also helps to keep weeds out of the sod. Treatment for bugs can be used as well.
These steps are all essential in the installation of sod, and a landscape company will make sure all of these steps are completed in a professional, timely manner to ensure the sod is properly and successfully installed.
