    How Much Does it Cost to Lay Sod? | Angie’s List - October 4, 2018 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Once the lawn is bare, you need to loosen the dirt. Rent a rototiller $50 for four hours, or $80 for a full day and add compost.

    You may also want to buy an at-home soil testing kit ($12 to $15), which will tell you the pH level of your soil, along with its nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium levels.

    This, in turn, helps you determine what type of fertilizer, and how much, you need to put on the lawn. Finally, you need to tamp down your lawn using a hand tamper ($32).

    When it comes time to start laying the sod, you need a landscape rake to level dirt ($30), and a 2-inchcutting knife ($20) to trim sod squares. Lay the new sod so that each row is staggered: make sure the "long" edges are tight to one another but the cut ends of the roll aren't side by side.

    Don't try doing this alone; convince at least one friend or family member to lend a hand. Once the sod is down, you want to roll it using a lawn roller, then rent a fertilizer spreader ($50) and buy fertilizer ($20 per bag).

    HD2000 Kentucky Bluegrass Sod – Central Sod Farms - September 25, 2018 by Mr HomeBuilder

    How much for 20 rolls of sod? I have an area 10 x 17.

    We currently charge $4 a roll picked up at our farm, so you would be looking at about $80. Thanks!

    Is it to late to fertilize? If not what kind do you recommend if I installed the Kentucky Bluegrass in July?

    (Asked Nov 15th) It is likely too late... Early November is the latest that we would recommend fertilizing cool season turfgrass in the Mid-Atlantic. (Also if you are in Maryland, then Nov 15th is the last day you can legally fertilize). I would be sure to fertilize first thing in the spring... I personally use the Turftrust Fertilizer we have on our website but you can also use any quality lawn fertilizer. Thanks!

    My yard is 75 feet long and 24 feet wide. How much sod do i need from Central Sod farms?

    You would want to order about 1900 square feet. Your area is exactly 1800 square feet but you would want to order a little bit extra to account for cutting around the edges. Thanks!

    How long do you recommend keeping dogs/kids off of it

    You can walk on it lightly immediately after installation, but you would want to wait at least 2 weeks for heavy traffic and dog use. Thanks!

    Is it too late to put down sod in early November in the Chicago area?

    You can install Kentucky Bluegrass and Tall Fescue year round.

    Im looking to lay kentucky bluegrass in my yard. I currently have a PH of about 8.0 do i need to add some sulfur or aluminum sulfate to lower the PH before i lay the sod or is it ok to lay it on very alkaline soil?

    I would recommend lowering the ph to around 7. Since this is quite a big change I would recommend using elemental sulfur. Make sure that you till the sulfur into the soil after you broadcast it, ideally to a depth of 5-6" inches. Thanks!

    HOW MUCH SOD TO COVER 18 FT ROUND WHERE A POOL WAS THANK YOU

    You would need about 300 square feet to cover that area (assuming 18 feet is the diameter of the circle). Thanks!

    how many sq foot of sod do I need for a yard 20feet long and 20 feet wide

    You would need 400 square feet of sod for this area. Thanks!

    How much sod do I need for a 20 foot x20 foot area?

    You would need 400 square feet of sod (40 rolls). Thanks!

    Do you install the sod?

    We do not install... But if you give our office a call we would be happy to refer you to a contractor in your area. Thanks!

    I had grub in my yard last year and I laid chemicals to try and get rid of them during last summer. I'm going to be laying all new sod down soon and was wondering if that would be a good idea given that I don't know if they are completely gone from my la

    It is safe to install new sod. A combination of the chemical from last summer and the tilling that you do before installing the sod this spring will ensure that they are not an issue. You still may want to apply grub control each summer as a preventative though. Thanks!

    What is the size of a roll of Kentucky Blue Grass? Thank you!

    They measure 2 feet by 5 feet. (total of 10 square feet per roll). Thanks!

    My plan is to sod my lawn with Kentucky Blue Grass. Do you think it would be okay to use Black Beauty on the parkway side which is totally separate from my lawn?

    Yes that would be fine... The two look very similar. Black Beauty has slightly coarser texture but is only noticeable if they are very close to each other. Thanks!

    What's the size and thickness of each sod

    The thickness of each type is a uniform 1.25 inches (which is about 3/4 inch of soil and 1/2 an inch of root material / thatch). The cool season sod (Kentucky Bluegrass and Tall Fescue) are cut in rolls that measure 2'x5' feet (total of 10 square feet per roll). The warm season sod (Bermuda and Zoysia) are cut in 18" x 40" inch pieces (total of 5 square feet).

    How does your sod differ from the sod they sell at Home Depot and Lowes?

    We are the producer and cut the sod fresh, meaning that it has a much better chance of survival once planted! Thanks!

    Can I lay sod right over existing lawn covered with patches of grass and various weed or do I need to dig up all of the junk first?

    It is best to remove the old plant material... If you lay sod directly on top it will create an air pocket over the dead grass and prevent the new sod from taking root. Thanks!

    How Many Rolls Are On Each Pallet?

    60 rolls that are 10 square feet each... Thanks!

    After installing Kentucky Blue Grass sod when should I first cut the grass?

    You can cut it as soon as it needs mowing, but make sure not to removed more than 1/3rd of the grass blade each time you mow. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

    I have a big tree that gives pretty good shade I cant tell you what percentage. Do I order black beauty for that section and the rest Kentucky blue? Live in Elk Grove Village, IL Thank you.

    I would recommend using Black Beauty for the entire area. The two textures would not match well and the lawn would look nicer if it was all Black Beauty. Thanks!

    How many rolls would I need to get 1461 yards?

    You would need 1,315 rolls to cover this area. (13,150 square feet). This equates to about 1 and a half tractor trailer loads of sod. Thanks!

    what prep work is recommended for the soil prior to installing sod?

    Currently you have black beauty sod out of stock.I have bushes along the side of my house and got rid of a pine tree. That part is at least 90% sun now since the tree is gone. The rest receives 80 to 85% sun. Can I order bluegrass so I don't have to wait

    Yes bluegrass will do well in that area. Thanks!

    Hi. I have tilled my yard and raked my yard. How do I level my soil before I lay the sod.

    It is best to use a wide metal landscape rake. The large width will help you level out any low or high areas. Thanks!

    I have an area 18 x8 and 24x8 how sod would I need ?

    You need about 350 square feet (35 rolls) to cover that area. Thanks!

    I have a 15x42 space how much sod do I need

    You need 630 square feet to cover that area (63 rolls of sod) Thanks!

    I have a area that's 30x30 and a area 12x12 how much sod will I need ? And which sod will I need the bigger area has a lot of sun and the smaller area has a little shade. Thanks for you help

    You need about 1100 square feet to cover that area, and I would recommend using the DuraBlend Tall Fescue (it does well in both full sun and partial shade). Thanks!

    My back yard is complete shade all day will sod work for me or do you have any recommendation. Right now it is all mud no grass at all.ThanksEd

    Thanks for the questions! The only thing you might try is some of the "shade mix" seed we have for sale on the website. The most shade tolerant grass we sell as sod is the Tall Fescue, but even that must have at least a few hours of sunlight each day to do well.

    Would it be best to cut out the existing lawn before tilling? My lawn is mostly crabgrass right now. If I use a vegetation killer as you suggest in your prep instructions, how long should I wait before laying new sod?

    If you have a very thick cover of weeds, it is best if you use a sod cutter to cut them out. If you end up spraying them you should wait a week for the weeds to start to die. This ensures that the chemical has enough time to get to the roots and fully kill the weed. Let me know if you have any other questions! -Jack

    How much sod do I need for a 100x25 lot?

    You would need 2500 square feet of sod. Thanks!

    How much for 109 by 76 feet

    Hi! For a price quote, please give our office a call at (630) 904-1017 Thanks!

    How much sod do I need for 32 foot round pool?

    You would need just under 900 square feet to cover that circle. (Assuming you are removing pool and want to sod the dirt circle). Thanks!

    I have a big tree in my front yard which give off a bit off shade in the mornings. what sod would you recommend.. I also have a large area behind the house what grass seeds would you recommend...my sod area is 2800 sq ft how much rolls do I need (chicago)

    If it gets afternoon sun you I would use the HD2000 Kentucky Bluegrass. You would need 280 rolls which would be just under 5 pallets of sod. Thanks!

    3 Ways to Choose Sod for Your Yard – wikiHow - September 25, 2018 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Expert Reviewed

    Three Methods:Selecting Sod by ClimateEvaluating Your Specific LawnGetting Good SodCommunity Q&A

    If your lawn is patchy, worn out, or dying, you're probably thinking about replacing it. Some homeowners opt for reseeding their yards, but many choose to lay new sod. Sod offers many advantages over a reseeded lawn, since it is installed while in optimum health and sown closely to limit weed infiltration. But it does usually cost more and it takes a bit of work to install, so its important to make the right sod choice. Factor in your climate and the particular conditions and functions of your yard, and find a knowledgeable supplier who can help you make the best decision.

    5

    Tuck the edges of each strip of sod into one another. This will keep the edges from curling. All exposed edges should be covered in topsoil or mulch to help prevent it from drying out.

    Question

    Why is there netting in the sod?

    Professional Landscaper

    Expert Answer

    The netting helps hold the sod together for harvesting. It is laced in the soil at the field and seeded over it.

    Question

    Should the backing on the sod be black or brown?

    Professional Landscaper

    Expert Answer

    The backing usually indicates what soil base the sod was grown in. Most often, the darker color is more clay based and the lighter color more loam based.

    Question

    What is the length and width of a piece of sod?

    wikiHow Contributor

    Community Answer

    Usually 2 ft. x 5 ft. Any bigger and it would be too heavy for most homeowners to use, especially if you're doing a entire lawn.

    Question

    Can I lay St. Augustine over existing grass?

    wikiHow Contributor

    Community Answer

    Not recommended. St Augustine is high-maintenance grass that requires a good base and lots of water. You could seed with Zoysia and it will fill in with the existing grass, it is very low maintenance.

    Question

    Which type sod thrives best in limited light?

    wikiHow Contributor

    Community Answer

    Fescue varieties are a good choice for shadier areas. In warmer climates, Bahia might be a good choice.

    Question

    What kind of sod turns brown in winter?

    wikiHow Contributor

    Community Answer

    Bermuda turns brown in winter as it goes dormant. A lot of people plant Rye grass in their Bermuda so the grass looks green in winter. In spring, the Bermuda comes back.

    Superior Fescue | California Sod Center - September 25, 2018 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Tall fescue grass is a common choice for sod production, residential lawns, and sports turf. It easily adapts to a broad range of environmental conditions and sod types. Tall fescue performs in sun and shade, handles moderate drought, and resists insects and diseases.

    At California Sod Center, we harvest tall fescue grass in Corona, CA. This deeply rooted, green grass has a high wear tolerance and the ability to withstand summer temperatures. When properly maintained, tall fescue looks great where heat, humidity and disease would normally prevail.

    Our Superior Fescue sod incorporates a variety of tall fescue grasses. For the sod to hold together, it needs grasses with rhizomes. Rhizomes refer to roots that grow both above and beneath the soil. When sod is harvested, the root system is cut. The rhizomes hold the sod together to keep it from falling apart. They also help repair the sod by forming new growth when exhibiting damage, thinning, or bare spots. Our Superior Fescue sod not only repairs itself, but deep roots help save watering time.

    California Sod Center prides ourselves on delivering quality fescue grass in Corona, CA. We use the latest technology to provide sod rich in color, thickness, and texture. Our harvesting machines cut 8 sq. ft. rolls of sod pieces.

    Please note that we do have a minimum delivery quantity in place. For orders over 1000 square feet, any shipping costs will be waived.

    How to Sod a New Lawn | This Old House - July 23, 2018 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Turf likes a well-aerated base that's slightly acidic (with a pH between 6 and 7.5) and nutrient-rich. And the only way to know what kind of soil you've got is to test it. For about $15, your local extension service will send a soil sample to a lab for analysis; results will come back within a week or two and indicate precisely what amendments you should add and in what quantity.

    Then it's time to buy your sod. Depending on where you live, you can order it from a garden center or directly from a sod farm. It will generally be a mix of two or three turf grasses, chosen for optimal color, texture, and heartiness (be sure to tell your supplier if your yard's in partial or full shade). Ideally, sod should be delivered within 24 hours of being cut and be laid the same day. Measure your yard carefully so you can order the right amount, with some overage (about 5 percent) to account for cutting around curves.

    Count on one weekend to prepare the soil and another to lay the turf. If your yard is covered with patchy grass, you'll need to remove it first. This is best done with a sod cutter (available from your local rental yard for about $70 per day), which slices it off below the roots. While you're at it, you'll want to rent a rototiller (about $55 per day). You'll also need a sod-cutting knife with a 2-inch blade, a spreader, an iron rake, compost, and other soil amendments, including fertilizer and lime, depending on what your soil analysis dictates. Two people should be able to cover 1,000 square feet in a day; get extra hands if you plan to lay more than that.
