- Add a layer of topsoil or compost to improve soil quality and drainage.

3. How To Lay Your Sod 

- Start laying the sod along a straight edge, such as a sidewalk or driveway.
- Stagger the seams of the sod pieces in a brick-like pattern to avoid gaps.
- Press down on the sod to ensure good soil contact and eliminate air pockets.

4. Water and Maintain:
- Water the newly laid sod thoroughly to help it establish roots.
- Keep the sod consistently moist for the first 2-3 weeks.
- Avoid walking on the sod for the first few weeks to allow it to take root.
