You can try making a good DIY or do it yourself garden by installing fresh new sod to your lawn if you don’t want to hire someone. Based on our previous blog says, - Before anything else, you need to clear the area with those unnecessary things or furniture if there is. Start cleaning the area by taking away any debris and pulling those unwanted grass that can be the reason for unhealthy turf. After grooming the site, now it's time to cultivate the soil. Dig for about 15cm in depth and check if you have rich soil. If not, add topsoil to make it perfect for growing plants.

You have to make sure that the cultivated soil is level with the whole area before laying the sod, just like what we have mentioned in our previous blog, “Lay the rolled sod in a brick-wall pattern to make sure that it won't easily come off. Never leave any gaps that can give space to some unwanted grass, and never overlap the edges. It is also important not to walk on the newly installed sod because it can cause them to shift and leave gaps in the edges.” -

What are the top 3 errors people make in their new sod?

• Improper preparation - In order to grow green and healthy sod on your lawn, you need to install it properly. One way of doing it is to make sure that there is no unwanted grass on your lawn and that you have healthy soil. But if you are not sure of the soil that you have it is better to add topsoil.
• Wrong timing - There is a great season for installing sod, just like everything. We all know that winter is not a great time to install sod or plant one.
• Insufficient water - Sod is considered a grass that can easily grow, but that doesn’t mean that it can establish itself without proper guidance and adequate water. It is important to water it daily.
