  • Once your new sod lawn is installed, soak it down well and roll it out with a yard roller to smooth and set it.
  • Directly before you place the sod on the ground, moisten the area and keep it moist as you go.
  • After you've decided which type of sod grass will work best for your area, and have broken and amended the soil, make sure the area is smooth and free of all pebbles, sticks, and debris. Even small objects can be noticeable as bumps if left under new sod grass.
  • Preparation is essential. There's no time for prep work once your sod is on location. It has to be put down immediately or it will heat up and rot.
