A good 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 equations enter into play to guarantee we get the correct amount of sod. The best time to put in sod is in the spring or autumn when its not too warm. Afterwards well talk to you to make sure the sod gets sufficient water to take hold.
We typically lay sod in strip rolls but first we prep the soil by eliminating all weeds and other plants. Then we can use some compost and allow it sit for a while if we have time prior to rolling out the sod. Afterwards we till and rake and inspect the dirt for proper pH. In this manner we assure you have the proper topsoil.
We always lay sod in neat rows and water it as quickly as were done. However we first level out sod that has bunched up as we go and remove pockets of air so it takes root. Naturally we make use of utility knives to cut the sod as needed ensure everything is flush and fill in all voids using leftover scraps. If you have a sprinkler system we cut holes for the heads. Sometimes we need to slice smaller sized rows for around flower beds sidewalks and driveways.
Once all the sod is laid we use a roller device to push the sod right into the topsoil which locks in moisture and helps sod grow root systems. Well roll one way then an additional way vertical utilizing a grid pattern. We attempt to prevent laying sod after heavy rainfall because the roller can do damage.
After that we ask you to water the sod as soon as possible and at regular intervals. You can test to guarantee its obtaining water by raising an edge to guarantee its damp yet not dry or muddy. Attempt to water first thing in the morning every day for a week and try not to walk on it as that can damage the sod. After the very first week its OK to water every other day. You can cut when the grass is three inches high. Have your lawnmower blade sharpened initially and cut on the highest possible setting. Keep in mind that we provide lawn mowing services.
Green Castle Lawn Care and Pest Control can after that establish a plan to maintain your yard weed and pest-free and use the correct nutrients as required.
