Preparing For Your New Sod

Cultivated turf allows you to enjoy a lawn of instant beauty and maturity without the usual time-consuming hassles of seeding. When purchasing your sod from Hobbs Turf Farms you can rest assured that you are getting the finest quality turf available.
Soil Preparation:

For best results, rototill or spade the area to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. Eliminate drainage problems by having soil slope away from foundations, etc.

Test your soil in the lawn area with the assistance of a qualified testing service in your area. Then rake in fertilizer, lime, peat, compost, etc. as recommended to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. Rake and smooth the soil removing rocks, roots, and large clods. Roll the area lightly with a lawn roller 1/3 full of water. This will firm the soil surface and reveal low areas that need more soil. Keep the grade 1 inch below sidewalks and driveways.

Water the prepared area to settle soil and provide a moist base for turf. Moistening to a depth of 6 inches is recommended for most soils
