Drainage system should be installed in accordance with the soil
analysis.
Irrigation system should be installed in accordance with the
climatic and seasonal water needs of the grass.
The final grass elevation with reference to the surrounding
structures should be taken into account while grading the suitable
root zone material.
The area should be rolled during and after the
subsoil grading. All activities should finish and all materials have
to removed before the installation
of the Turfgrass sod.
The turfgrass installation should start as soon as the truck arrives at
your site.
The lanscaping project will be completed after the installation of
the Turfgrass sod.
While installing the sod, the crew has to be careful not to leave any
opennings between the rolls and overlapping should be avoided.
It is
helpful to install the rolls in a wall pattern. This will be better for the
development of the rooting between the rolls.
The roots along the edges
will be exposed to air if openings are allowed between the rolls.
Thus
resulting in weakening along those spots.
The joints between the installed rolls will be fully closed in a few weeks
and after couple of mowings if the rolls are installed in accordance with
the specs.
Irrigation of the newly installed area should start right after the installation
(or during the installation in warm conditions) to the depth of 4-5 cm of soil.
This is vitaly important to ensure proper wetness of the grass.
Light rolling is useful after the irrigation. This will make the grass soil touch
with the subsoil in a better way eliminating any air between the layers.
It is important not to subject the newly installed area to activities. Allowing a
period of 2 weeks is suggested for the better root development.
