Laying sod is an excellent and popular way of achieving a beautiful lawn in a short span of time and without the hassle of planting seeds. If you’re getting ready for sod installation in the DFW area, then watch this video for tips on prepping your soil.

Depending on your soil type, you may need to mix organic matter into the ground so that your new turf grass can thrive. In many cases, a mixture of a good quality compost and topsoil can help loosen clay soil, encourage deep root growth, and keep moisture in the ground. Break up the soil in the area where you will be laying sod, and then incorporate your topsoil and compost. After smoothing the soil and letting it settle, it will be ready for sod installation.
