What To Look For In Good Sod Installation Commercial

By Larry Williams


To many people, it is not easy to tell the difference between on piece of turf and another. They roll the same, they are grown in the same way and some will even be of the same type. However, there are very many features that will make a good sod installation commercial. For this reason, people must know these qualities so as not to make mistakes in the choice made. Below are some of them.

The quality of soil must be good. This will determine the kind of grass that will grow from it. An easy way of differentiating between consistent and bad soil is by checking for cracks in it. One that crumbles lacks the vital nutrients as they break away. The amount of soil should be enough and of right quantity. Too much soil inhibits the growth of grass seed and it will not reach the top soil. This is not good for the turf in the yard.

The grass must be uniform in length and color. They have to be well maintained so that they appear attractive. Uniformity in height is achieved by proper trimming. The type of grass grown must also be the same. The strips have to be made up of same kind of grass so as to bring out harmony when the product is finally laid on the ground.

Application of fertilizer helps in making the turf resistant to extreme conditions such as drought and also keeps pests away. It is important to ensure that it is supplied with the right amounts and types of fertilizers. The people growing them are supposed to ensure that they are well cared for in order to achieve the desired quality.

The time of harvest is another major consideration. It is important the grass is replanted as soon as it is uprooted. Failure to do this leads to loss of moisture and wilting of plant. This greatly affects its quality. The turf has to be as fresh as possible. Keep it moist after uprooting to avoid interfering with the moisture content and water it immediately it is placed in the ground.

The right type of turf has to be selected. This will be determined by the amounts of weeds in it and the health condition of the grass. There are those that do not have any trace of weed in them. These are the best as they reduce costs of removing weeds and are also healthier. They are not prone to weed attack and therefore do not require special chemicals to maintain them.

The maturity of grass must be checked. More often, ones that are not mature enough will lead to turf of poor quality. In this, a person must ensure that the roots are fully developed and that they can support the strand adequately. The length of the roots can help tell if it is of right level of maturity. There are other things to look at including the color and length of grass. Mature ones will also need less maintenance as they are not delicate as compared to the young immature ones.

To conclude, there are certain qualities that should get present in clods for them to meet the standard commercial requirements. They must possess the above outlined features for them to attain certain levels and meet the expectations. Always ensure that these features are well known and checked before purchasing these products.
