What should I look for in a landscape contractor?

Landscape contractors are very important to getting a quality job of turfgrass sod installed properly. You will want one with experience in soil preparation, soil grading, and sod installation. It is a very laborious job so he or she may have several people to help get the job done, especially if it is a big area. You should plan your installation job by giving your landscaper plenty of time to prepare the soil properly by soil testing, incorporating lime and fertilizer, and raking and grading the soil. This is preparation work that is often skipped because a homeowner can save money. Skipping this may mean a poor stand of grass one year later.

How soon do I need to install the sod after I purchase it?

For best results, install the sod within 24 hours of purchase. If you can't install it that quickly consider ordering sod for a different day.
