A lush lawn enhances the aesthetic value of a property. No matter the type of property; be it a residential or commercial, hiring a professional to carry out Sod Installation Commercial in your property brings you a lot of benefits. For instance, the monetary value of the investment shoots. In fact, it only takes a few hours to bring this transformation to your home. In addition, that alleviates the need to do seeding.

Most people keep their eyes glued on a green and well maintained grass. What most of them are not aware of is the amount of work an expert sod installer put into the installation process. There is a lot of physical activity into it in order to remove the dried vegetation and replace it with healthy rolls of turf. Moreover, an expert comes with the right gear and equipment necessary to ensure the success of the project.

Before indulging in any works, one needs to clear up the ground, and sort the soil first. With the use of a rototiller, make the soil lose. This looseness should not exceed seven inches. Next, take compost and assort it with the ground to introduce nutrients to it. For the soil to allow water perforation, add a little sand, together with clay. To level the ground, pass a rake through the raised lumps protruding the ground.

After sprinkling a little water to the prepared soil, the ensuing step is to lay down the first roll of sod. To achieve a straight edge, lay them from a straight edged boundary, for instance; the fence. Laying the rolls is not enough because some air collects beneath them. To get rid of the air, press them against the ground gently so that it adheres firmly to the wet ground. Then proceed on to laying the remaining rolls.

As part of the project, water the new lawn sufficiently. This water is important to settle down the soil. Take caution to avoid stepping on the grass for a period not less than a week. Still on this, spray water in the morning. It is advisable to do so because the mid-day scorch evaporates the water at a high rate. On the other hand, watering at night dampens it, and that encourages the growth of fungi.

After observing a daily schedule of sprinkling water for a week, reduce this frequency to about twice per week. Past one week, the installed lawn will have adhered well to the ground such that one cannot depict its recent installation. Coming into the third week, water the landscape less often. However, during summer, sprinkle the land more often as the days are dissimilarly hotter.

When the laid turf begins grow to a height approximately five inches, mow it. It is advised that one does this with caution because the new vegetation is still fragile and needs to be handled with more care. Thus, use a walk-behind mower instead of a driven one. This reduced the weight put on it. Cut it to about two inches, Remember to collect the clippings after mowing.

Lastly, remember to add fertilizer. Addition of that increases nutrient value of the soil. This is mainly done to make up for the lost nutrient due to increased leaching during the intensive watering in the preceding few weeks. On top of that, never fail to hire an expert mower to maintain the landscape.
