Properly lay your sod. You will need to prepare your lawn soil before laying the sod. Remove weeds and break your soil until all the clumps are gone. Make sure the soil is packed firmly and even. Gently sprinkle water on the soil until you are certain that it is thoroughly moistened. You want the sod laid down in staggered rows, and the joints to be offset from each other. Make sure the sod is firmly placed to ensure a surface that is sufficiently flat and even. Also, make sure to use soil to fill the areas where there are gaps in the sod. For the best results, you need to water the sod every day for a two week period. After this time the sod will have rooted into the soil and can be now walked on.
