Make sure to lay the sod properly. Get your soil ready before you lay the sod. Be sure to get rid of any weeds, and then proceed to break up the soil to get it ready to use. Gently compact the soil until it is flattened. You then will want to thoroughly wet the soil. Avoid laying your sod in straight rows with all of the seams lining up. Instead, stagger the rows for a more pleasing visual effect. Pat down the sod and fill any gaps with soil. The sod requires water on a daily basis for two weeks, then the roots will have taken hold and ready to be walked on.
