While some homeowners may attempt to install sod on their own, sod installation is best left to the professionals. Sod installation is backbreaking work – with each roll weighing approximately 40 lbs, it is not an easy task to take on.
Without a professional sod cutter machine, you risk uneven removal of your existing turf resulting in a lumpy lawn. Beyond that, Maggio has access to the finest quality Kentucky Bluegrass sod that is freshly harvested the morning of your installation.
It’s a myth that sod can only be installed during cooler times of the year. Maggio successfully installs sod all season long. Even during extreme heat and drought, your sod can thrive as long as you adjust your watering according to the conditions.
The key is to keep the soil moist. Pro tip – lift the edge of a sod roll to see how much the water has saturated through.
You’ll have to keep off your lawn for approximately 3 weeks after sod installation to allow the roots to establish. You should also not cut the lawn for 3 weeks, only walking on it to water your sod.
