Backyard Renovation Part 6: Laying New Sod

  • All the hard work has led up to this day! Everything is prepped and the new sod has arrived, so it's time to install it. This is a fescue grass that will stay green all year round. Everybody is happy with the final result, especially the dogs! There are still more projects for the backyard, such as a greenhouse, shed, string lights, chicken coop, and garden, but for now I'm going to focus on the workshop and get back to building things in there. Enjoy!

    In the 15 years I spent landscaping, I've laid hundreds of thousands of square feet of sod and I will say that you did a great job. We never had anything fancy like a fork lift though. Every single sod was cut and then lifted into the truck then removed from the truck and put in place.
    Doing that every day for 15 years will make you VERY strong.

    Why didn't you do a drip irrigation below the sod? It is so much more water efficiënt and you won't have the spray over the grass so you can even stand on it when watering. Ofc you have to water it manually then when new sod is applied but after that drip is so much more nice.

    • @ConorLennon
      @ConorLennon 3 года назад

      Sod (soede) is just broadly ‘Germanic’ for turf - grass plus some soil.
      The sod in ‘sod off’, ‘sod it’, ‘sod that’ and so on is just a swear word originating from the term sodomy.
