Learn how to properly lay sod. Prior to laying the sod, prepare your soil. Be sure to get rid of any weeds, and then proceed to break up the soil to get it ready to use. Compress the soil lightly yet firmly, and make certain it’s flat. The soil should always receive adequate moisture. Sod should be staggered in rows, the joints offsetting from each other. Make sure that the sod forms an even, flat surface, and if you have any gaps show between the sod, fill them with a little bit of soil. Once it is in place, the sod requires frequent watering for at least two weeks. This is usually the amount of time it takes for the sod to grow roots, making it ready to grow seamlessly into place.
