New Sod Lawn and Irrigation System

Whether you prefer Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, or other types of fescue, your lawn will surely look its best in the least amount of time when you plan carefully how and when to install a new sod lawn. The most important part of the planning process is to have an irrigation system installed prior to installing the sod. Keeping the soil moist is essential in maintaining a healthy lawn. And as for the sod installation, it is crucial to keep the soil moist to prevent dry spots and visible seams on your lawn. When acquiring professional landscape services, they will usually require you to have an irrigation system installed before they start estimating and installing sod for your lawn.

The first part of the planning process is to determine what kind of grass you want to use on your lawn. Prior to that, you should already have surveyed your lawn area. If your lawn is exposed to sunlight throughout the day, Kentucky bluegrass is the best type of sod to purchase. In some cases, there are also other types of grass that can survive without sunlight in most parts of the day. Researching about this will also help in selecting the kind of grass to be used on your lawn.

Determining the type of soil that you have is also important. If you wish to improve the quality of soil on your lawn, you should consult with an expert as they will give you advice on which type of soil is best for your lawn and will accommodate the type of sod that you will use. With that being said, the irrigation is also important as both the soil on each sod piece and the soil underneath should be moist and well-maintained to ensure the survival of the grass.

If your soil is heavy or is clay-like in consistency, it is best to mix in organic materials such as cultivated peat. If the soil on your lawn is sand-like in consistency, adding equal parts of heavier soil and organic materials will work best. Before installing the sod, you should check each piece for any dried out portions or wilted grass. Sod pieces are usually 1 inch in thickness, and it can easily be detected if it is fresh and healthy. Otherwise, you should return the damaged goods to your dealer. Upon delivery or purchase, it is best that the sod pieces be taken out from their piles or be installed immediately to prevent the grass from wilting and the soil from drying up and cracking.
