Laying Grass Sod

Preparing the Ground for Grass Sod Installation

Optimal soil conditions are a key factor for successful grass sod installation and long-term growth. Fertile humus soil is ideal. If the soil is clayey or heavy, we recommend adding sand to improve drainage and structure.

Preparation for the first laying of grass sod or seeding:

  • First, level and compact the fertile humus soil or a mix of soil and sand (in a 2/3 soil and 1/3 sand ratio).
  • Break up the rough structure of the soil to achieve a fine texture suitable for easy handling.
  • Compact the surface by rolling to prevent later unevenness.
  • Lightly rake and finely level the top layer.
  • Ensure the ground is prepared 2–3 cm below the desired final height to accommodate the thickness of the grass sod.

Preparation for Replacing Grass Sod:

  • Completely remove the old grass sod (manually, mechanically, chemically, or physically).
  • After removal, begin the preparation process as with the first laying.

Grass Sod Laying Process

  • The prepared surface must be level and compacted.
  • Lay the grass sod rolls easily by unrolling them. Adjust the roll’s position until it is perfectly aligned.
  • Lay the rolls in rows, starting the next row with an offset (like laying bricks) to avoid uniform contact between rolls.
  • It is important that the grass sod pieces do not overlap. Use a utility knife to cut along the edges.
  • After laying the sod, roll it to flatten the seams and ensure proper adhesion to the soil.

Watering the Grass Sod

  • After laying the grass sod, water it thoroughly so that water penetrates at least 10–15 cm deep. This is especially important in summer or dry periods.
  • Subsequent watering should be less intense but need to be done daily until the sod is fully rooted.
  • ZAdjust the watering based on weather conditions and soil state.

First Mowing of the Grass Sod

  • Mow the grass sod for the first time 5–10 days after laying.
  • For the first mowing, trim only the grass tips, then gradually adjust the height until you reach the desired length (approximately 4 cm).
  • Never mow more than 1/3 of the grass length at a time, as cutting too much can harm the plants.
  • The mowing height depends on the season: mow lower in spring and autumn, and higher in summer to reduce exposure to direct sunlight.
  • Ensure that the mower blades are always sharp to avoid damaging the grass blades.

Fertilizing the Grass Sod

  • Fertilize the grass sod with nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus fertilizers, depending on the season:
    • From March to September, use fertilizers with higher nitrogen content to promote growth.
    • In autumn, use fertilizers with higher phosphorus and especially potassium content to prepare the grass for winter.
  • Fertilize when rain is forecast, or water the grass thoroughly after fertilizing to prevent burning.
  • Insufficient watering after fertilizing can cause damage, especially during hot days.

Frequently Asked Questions About Grass Sod

What is grass sod, and how does it differ from seeding?

Grass sod is naturally grown grass with a developed root system, already prepared for laying. Compared to seeding, grass sod is an immediate solution, providing dense and even green coverage without weeds in just a few hours, whereas seeding takes several months to achieve the same result.

How soon can I lay the grass sod after delivery?

It’s best to lay the grass sod immediately after delivery, as freshness is crucial for its quality and rooting. If that's not possible, store it in a cool, shaded place and avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or drying out.

Can I lay grass sod in winter?

Yes, grass sod can be laid in all seasons except when the ground is frozen. In winter, it’s important to avoid disturbing the soil and ensure the sod is not exposed to extreme weather conditions.

How do I prepare the ground for laying grass sod?

The ground must be well-levelled, compacted, and free of weeds. Use fertile soil or a mix of soil and sand (in a 2/3 soil and 1/3 sand ratio). Compact the surface by rolling and lightly rake the top layer to create optimal conditions for rooting.

How long does it take for grass sod to root?

Grass sod usually roots in 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the season, proper watering, and soil quality. The first 14 days are crucial, so make sure to water regularly and avoid heavy usage.

How often should I water grass sod after laying?

After laying, water the grass sod thoroughly so that water penetrates at least 10–15 cm deep. Water daily for the first 10–14 days, then reduce the frequency based on weather conditions and the grass's needs.

When can I mow the grass sod for the first time?

Mow for the first time 5–10 days after laying when the grass reaches about 7–10 cm in height. For the first mowing, trim only the grass tips and never more than 1/3 of the length. Continue regular mowing to achieve the desired height (about 4 cm).

How much grass sod do I need for my garden?

Calculate the required square meters by measuring the length and width of your area (in meters) and multiplying them. Add a little extra for cutting errors or especially if the terrain is irregular.

Can I lay the grass sod myself, or do I need professional help? Answer:

Laying grass sod is relatively easy if you have the ground prepared properly and follow the instructions. For larger or more complex areas and harder ground preparation, professional help is recommended to ensure the best results.

Is grass sod resistant to weeds?

Grass sod has a strong root system and is free of weeds. However, regular and proper maintenance is essential for the health of the grass and long-term resistance to weeds.
