Sod should be laid correctly. Before laying the sod, have your soil prepared. Be sure to get rid of any weeds, and then proceed to break up the soil to get it ready to use. Lightly, but firmly compact the soil, making sure it is flat. Afterward, you want to make sure the soil is moistened. Stagger your sod so that each joint offsets from joints in adjacent rows. Cut away extra sod and save it to fill in gaps you may create later. Once it is in place, the sod requires frequent watering for at least two weeks. This is usually the amount of time it takes for the sod to grow roots, making it ready to grow seamlessly into place.
As you cut your grass, do not trim it too low to the ground. If your grass has more height, roots be able to grow more deeply in the soil, which will make for a stronger lawn and will have a higher resistance to drying out. If you keep your lawn too short, the roots will not go deep enough to survive in case of a heat wave.

For areas with high alkaline, mix coffee grounds into the soil. The coffee grounds are an inexpensive way to give some acid back to the dirt. After doing so, you will notice that your greenery and garden will be colorful and fresh.
