Hello. Cindy here. Sod is easy to install. Start with a clean yard space, no weeds, no big clumps of dirt, no rocks, etc. The sod will take better if you break up the soil first. It will help the roots take hold and establish them. Start in a corner and work your way out. Stagger the seams. Once you have all the sod down, water right away.
