When laying sod, it is important that you do it correctly. Get your soil ready before you lay the sod. Eradicate any weeds and work the soil until it is very fine. Flatten your soil and make it slightly compact. You then will want to thoroughly wet the soil. You want the sod laid down in staggered rows, and the joints to be offset from each other. After the sod is in place, go over the surface to ensure everything is level. Use loose soil to fill in any gaps between seams. For the best results, you need to water the sod every day for a two week period. After this time the sod will have rooted into the soil and can be now walked on.
