Is Sodding A Hard Job To Do?
The actual laying of the sod, while being fairly laborious, is quite easy to do. Essentially, if the sod rolls are unrolled in the same direction each time, butted tightly to each other so there is no overlap or gap, and staggered as if laying bricks on a horizontal surface, then you should be rewarded with a good-looking installation.

I ordered 2,500 square feet for delivery and am finished installing my yard. I have 22 rolls left over. When can you come and pick them up and refund my money on them?
We are sorry that you have sod left over, but we cannot come and pick it up, nor can we give you a refund for it. Sod is perishable plant material, and we cannot take it back or sell it to someone else. It is vitally important that accurate measurements are taken because what you order is what you will receive, and it is yours. We cannot take responsibility for someone else's measurements, math mistakes or incomplete measurements.

What Do I Need to Do to Get the Ground Ready for Sod?
Colorado soils are generally of poor quality. A key to a successful, healthy lawn is to have it growing in good soil. ScienTurfic Sod recommends that customers incorporate a good organic compost into soil prior to sodding. The recommended rate is 3 cubic yards of compost per 1000 square feet of area. This needs to be spread evenly and rototilled into the existing soil to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. This will improve the composition and the texture of the soil to a point where the grass plants will perform much better. Finally, the soil needs to be graded and raked out so that the surface is smooth and ready for sod. The lawn will only look as good as the soil is underneath it.

When Can I Install Sod?
You can install sod any time that you can prepare the ground correctly and as long as we can harvest sod from the field. As long as the ground is not frozen, proper ground preparation can be performed. Water must be available to water the newly installed sod, so have a hose ready or utilize your sprinkler system
