To it, add composed and a mixture of clay and sand in order to enhance surface runoff. If you notice protruding lumps or small mounts, level the ground using a rake such that it is just an inch below the paved pathways then moisten it.

After sprinkling a little water to the prepared soil, the ensuing step is to lay down the first roll of sod. To achieve a straight edge, lay them from a straight edged boundary, for instance; the fence. Laying the rolls is not enough because some air collects beneath them.
