Sod Installation Service South Ogden UT
A good lawn care service in Ogden Utah understands the proper way to lay sod. Green Castle Lawn Care and Pest Control begins by measuring your lawn with a measuring wheel. Then some mathematics equations enter into play to ensure we acquire the correct amount of sod. The very best time to put in sod is in the spring or autumn when its not overly warm. After that well talk to you to ensure the sod gets sufficient water to take hold.
We commonly lay sod in strip rolls but first we prep the dirt by eliminating all weeds and other plants. After that we can use some garden compost and allow it sit for a while if we have time prior to rolling out the sod. Afterwards we till and rake and examine the dirt for proper pH. By doing this we guarantee you have the correct topsoil.
We always lay sod in neat rows and water it as quickly as were finished. However we first level out sod that has actually bunched up as we go and get rid of pockets of air so it develops roots. Naturally we use utility knives to slice the sod as required make sure everything is flush and fill in all gaps using remaining scraps. If you have a lawn sprinkler we cut openings for the heads. Occasionally we need to cut smaller sized rows for around flower beds walkways and driveways.
Once all the sod is laid we utilize a roller device to press the sod right into the topsoil which secures moisture and helps sod grow roots. Well roll one way then an additional way vertical using a grid pattern. We try to prevent laying sod after heavy rain because the roller can do damage.
After that we ask you to water the sod right away and at routine periods. You can test to guarantee its getting water by raising an edge to guarantee its damp but not dry or muddy. Try to water first thing in the morning daily 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 3 inches high. Have your lawnmower blade sharpened first and cut on the highest setting. Note that we offer grass mowing services.
Green Castle Lawn Care and Pest Control can then establish a strategy to keep your grass weed and pest-free and use the proper nutrients as needed.
