Installing Sod Roles

• Begin installing sod along the longest straight line, such as a driveway or sidewalk.
• Work with whole pieces, laying them one at a time, end to end.
• Butt and push edges and ends against each other tightly. Stretch lightly. Avoid gaps or
  overlaps.
• Sod can be easily cut using almost any knife, though a utility knife or linoleum knife is best.
• Stagger the joints in each row in a brick-like fashion.
• On slopes, place sod across (perpendicular) to the slope, not horizontally with the slope.
• Work to smooth out any wrinkles in the sod. Pat sod carefully into place, so there aren’t any
  air pockets between soil and sod.
• Once a roll is unrolled, just slide it into place on the soil… It is much easier than lifting!
• It’s best to start in an area that is further away and work towards you; this prevents you from
  walking repeatedly on fresh sod that you just laid.
• Avoid walking on the sod as you lay it, and rake out any footprints you make in soil as you
  go.

After installing the turf you can choose to roll the entire area to improve sod/soil contact and to remove air pockets. Due to the clay compact soils, Korby Sod does not roll and allows the weight of watering to compact over time. The visible seams will go away in a few short weeks.

WATER IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLATION FOR 30 to 60 MINUTES!!
