What happens here

Before laying sod, several workers are actively preparing the soil. They are seen using landscape rakes to spread and level dark, rich material, likely topsoil or compost, over the existing sub-base. This ensures a smooth, even surface for the sod to root into and provides essential nutrients for healthy growth. Proper ground preparation is critical for the long-term success of the lawn.

Goal: Create a smooth, nutrient-rich base for the sod

Tools and materials
