Sod Installation
Sod is grass that is cut into thin strips and sold in rolls. It is typically used to repair spots of a lawn or establish a new lawn. It can be beneficial for a yard because it provides an instant, green lawn. Some services that are typically added when installing sod are irrigation, grading, and soil preparation.
The process of installing sod is as follows:
1. The area to be sodded is cleared of all debris.
2. The soil is loosened and any existing grass is removed.
3. The soil is tested to ensure proper pH and texture for drainage.
- Depending on the soil's texture, top soil may need to be added to ensure the soil has the proper drainage.
4. The soil is leveled and any bare spots are filled in.
5. The sod is cut into strips and laid on the prepared soil.
6. The strips of sod are pressed into the soil and watered.
Over-seeding
Over-seeding is the process of planting grass seed over an existing lawn in order to thicken it up, fill in bare spots, or change the type of grass. Over-seeding can be beneficial because it can improve the appearance of the lawn, make it easier to care for, and help to crowd out weeds. Some services that can be added when over-seeding are topdressing, aeration, and fertilization. The difference between seeding and over-seeding a lawn is that seeding is starting a lawn from scratch, while over-seeding is adding new seed to an existing lawn.
The process of over-seeding is as follows:
1. The area to be seeded is cleared of all debris.
2. The existing grass is mowed short.
3. The soil is loosened and any existing grass is removed.
- In many cases, aerating before over-seeding a lawn is beneficial because it allows the new seedlings to take root more easily, and allows for better drainage of water and helps absorb nutrients into the soil.
4. The seed is spread over the prepared soil with a lawn spreader.
5. The seed is pressed into the soil and watered.
