Lay Sod
How I lay Sod?
To start new lawns, many people curiosity which is better: laying sod or disseminating grass seed. While seeding is more expensive and offers a wider variety of grass types, many people are won over to laying sod by two convincing arguments: laying sod is fast and produces high-quality new lawns. Planting sod is a way to create an expanse of lush green lawn in a very short period of time. Sod is living grass which comes in large strips that are designed to be unrolled over specially prepared ground.
Make sure that pieces abut with each other, but are not coinciding, and water the sod lightly as you go to keep it damp. As you lay sod in areas where it needs to be shaped, you can cut it with a sharp knife or trowel. Cutting sod should be undertaken with care, as sod is difficult to patch after a cutting job has been messed up. As the sod lawn takes root, you can decrease the watering, giving the sod enough water to stay healthy and green but not enough to cause water logging.
