What we take from it
- Sod can be laid from spring to fall if the ground is not frozen and it can be watered; spring and early fall are easier, because sod dries out more slowly than in summer heat.
- The guide asks to remove stones, branches and debris, level the ground to avoid low spots, add topsoil where needed and give a slight slope that moves water away from the house.
- To estimate the number of standard rolls, the guide divides the area in square feet by 10 and adds 2 to 5% for cuts and irregular edges.
- The guide asks to water right after laying, keep the soil moist without puddles for the first weeks, avoid walking on the lawn in the first days and check municipal watering rules, which many cities apply to new lawns.
- Installed sod costs 1.50 to 4 CAD per ft² and sod alone 0.35 to 0.80 CAD; the research derives a benchmark of about 0.010 to 0.049 person-hours per ft² for light preparation and laying, used as a cross-check.
- The guide recommends laying sod soon after delivery, pressing rolls tightly together without overlapping, offsetting seams from row to row like bricks and trimming edges with a sharp tool.
- The guide reminds readers to check municipal watering rules, which many cities also apply to new lawns.
