If turf is really bad, and you don’t have the patience for seed to germinate then sodding is the way to go. It’s also a great opportunity to fix the land, that is not pitched, or graded correctly or if there’s a spot of pooling water, this is a great time to address those issues.
What is Sodding?
Sod is like carpet, it comes perfectly ready to be laid out. First, we remove old turf and weeds! Then rototill soil, add soil additives (like peat moss, compost, and other materials) if needed to enrich the soil to feed the lawn from beneath. We then level, or grade, or pitch the land and add additional soil if needed. Next, we roll out sod being careful not to overlap each piece. Sod will need to be watered heavily in the first year, especially when first laid, then regularly as it establishes. In coming years treat it as you would a regular healthy lawn.
