- If possible, stack sod pallets OUT of direct sunlight
- On hot days, spray sod with water, giving a little extra attention to the grass toward the edges of each roll
- Always remove rocks, roll your yard, and prepare the soil before sod delivery to ensure faster sod installation
- Whenever possible, lay sod as soon as it’s delivered
Laying fresh sod can be a challenge if you have a yard with walkways, porches, or flowerbeds.
