How much extra sod should I order?
We recommend ordering 10-15% more sod than your calculated amount to account for cutting waste, irregular shapes, and potential mistakes during installation.
What’s the ideal soil depth for new sod?
For best results, prepare 4-6 inches of quality topsoil before laying sod. This provides adequate nutrients and root space for healthy grass growth.
Can I lay sod over existing grass?
It’s not recommended. For best results, remove existing vegetation, till the soil, and grade the area before installing new sod to prevent uneven settling and drainage issues.
How soon can I walk on new sod?
Wait at least 2 weeks before regular use. The sod needs time to establish roots into the soil beneath. Light foot traffic after the first week is usually fine.
