What happens here
The sod installation is in full swing, with significant portions of the backyard already covered in fresh green turf. Workers are seen kneeling and walking, carefully unrolling the sod strips and placing them tightly together, ensuring minimal gaps between pieces. They often stagger the seams like brickwork to create a seamless appearance and prevent erosion. This manual process requires precision and effort to achieve a uniform, aesthetically pleasing lawn.
Goal: Lay all sod rolls tightly and uniformly across the prepared area
