Before You Order
Details worth
getting right.
Not preparing the base before adding topsoil
Grade and compact fill properly. Topsoil on uncompacted fill will settle unevenly.
Applying topsoil too thin for sod
Use at least 4 inches of topsoil under sod for healthy root development.
Choosing garden soil for lawns
Garden soil is too rich and loose for sod. Use topsoil for lawns, garden soil for beds.
