Installation

INSTALLATION

Sod should be installed as soon as possible after delivery.

	In extremely hot weather, sod needs to be installed immediately.
	In cooler temperatures, sod should be installed within 24 hours.
	Begin installing sod along a straight line, such as a driveway or property line. Push edges and ends tightly against each other. Avoid gaps and overlapping. Stagger pieces in a brick like pattern to avoid long seams.
	Prior to watering, sod may be rolled with a half-filled roller. This will improve sod to soil contact and remove any air pockets.
	Apply at least 1" of water to sod immediately after installation. The sod will take 10 - 14 days to firmly root to the soil. Water twice a day during the rooting process and minimize walking on the sod. Water should not be laying on the sod, but the roots should stay moist during this time.
