Southwest Sod Green Yard

	Step 1: How to measure your yard
	Follow these simple steps to insure an accurate measurement of your yard.
	Divide your yard into geometric shapes (rectangles and triangles)
	Individually calculate the area of each shape
	Total the area of all the shapes
	Now you are ready to order your new lawn!
	We recommend adding an additional 5-7% to allow for any extra cut outs and odd shaped areas
	Step 2: Soil Preparation
	Follow these easy steps to effectively prepare the soil for your new lawn.
	Remove weeds and unwanted growth with an appropriate herbicide
	Clear rocks and debris
	Apply soil amendments such as mulch or gypsum 1 inch thick, which is about 8 cubic feet of mulch per 100 square feet
	Till in soil amendments to a depth of 4-6 inches
	Install your sprinkler system
	Level your soil with a roller or a rake
	The final soil grade should be 1 inch below sidewalks, driveways, and sprinkler heads
	Step 3: Sod Installation
	Follow these simple steps for a quick 'n easy installation.
	Install your sod within 25 hours of delivery
	Lay the first row of sod along a straight edge (sidewalk, driveway, walkway) lengthwise
	Seal the edges of your sod with a firm push, being careful not to overlap
	Stagger each row, similar to bricklaying
	Sprinkle sod with a hose throughout installation, keeping the soil moist
	Ensure a level surface and remove air pockets with a roller
	That's it, now enjoy!
