SOD INSTALLATION SERVICES
Sod installation service refers to the installation of rolled turf (also known as turf or sod turf) in a given area to create an instant, uniform lawn. This process involves several stages to ensure that the grass establishes properly and grows healthily.
Soil preparation:
- Cleaning the area: Removal of stones, debris, and weeds.
- Tillage: Aeration of the soil to facilitate grass rooting.
- Leveling: Flattening the land to ensure a uniform surface.
- Soil amendment: Adding compost, sand or other amendments to improve soil quality and drainage.
Turf Installation:
Placing the grass rolls: Unrolling and placing the sods tightly and without spaces between them.
Cut and Fit: Trim edges and adjust pieces to fit over irregular areas or around obstacles.
Turf rolling: Using a roller to press the grass against the ground, eliminating air pockets and ensuring good contact with the ground.
Initial Watering: Water thoroughly immediately after installation to ensure the grass is well hydrated and begins to root.
Post maintenance:
Regular Watering: Keep the grass moist for the first few weeks until it is well established.
Lawn Mowing: First mow once the grass reaches a suitable height, usually after a few weeks.
Installing rolled grass is a popular option for creating an attractive lawn quickly, compared to sowing grass seed, which takes longer to establish and grow. This service is used both in residential gardens and in commercial and public areas, such as parks and sports fields.
