What you'll need
Common questions
How much does a pallet of sod cover?
Usually 400 to 500 square feet, depending on the grass and the farm.
How soon should sod be laid?
The same day it's delivered. Sod left on the pallet heats up and dies quickly.
How often should new sod be watered?
Daily for the first two weeks so the soil underneath stays moist, then taper off.
