Sod Installation Service Ogden Utah

An excellent lawn care service in Ogden Utah knows the proper way to lay sod. Green Castle Lawn Care and Pest Control starts by measuring your yard with a measuring wheel. Then some mathematics formulas come into play to ensure we get the right amount of sod. The very best time to put in sod is in the spring or autumn when it's not overly hot. Afterwards, we'll talk to you to make certain the sod gets enough water to take hold.

We usually lay sod in strip rolls, but initially, we prep the dirt by eliminating all weeds and various other plants. Then, we can use some compost and let it sit for a while if we have the time before rolling out the sod. Afterwards, we till and rake, and examine the dirt for proper pH. By doing this, we ensure you have the appropriate topsoil.

We always lay sod in neat rows and water it as quickly as we're finished. However, we first level out sod that has bunched up as we go and remove pockets of air, so it develops roots. Naturally, we make use of utility knives to slice the sod as required, see to it everything is flush, and fill in all voids utilizing remaining scraps. If you have a sprinkler system, we cut openings for the heads. In some cases we need to cut smaller rows for around flower beds, walkways, and driveways.

As soon as all the sod is laid, we make use of a roller machine to press the sod into the topsoil, which locks in moisture and helps sod grow root systems. We'll roll one way then an additional way, perpendicular making use of a grid pattern. We try to prevent laying sod after hefty rainfall because the roller can do damage.

After that we ask you to water the sod right away and at routine intervals. You can evaluate to guarantee it's getting water by raising an edge to ensure it's moist yet not dry or muddy. Try to water first thing in the morning, everyday for a week, and attempt not to walk on it as that can harm the sod. After the first week, it's okay to water every other day. You can cut when the grass is three inches high. Have your lawnmower blade sharpened first and cut on the highest setting. Note that we provide grass mowing services.

Green Castle Lawn Care and Pest Control can then create a strategy to keep your yard weed and pest-free and use the correct nutrients as required.
