Did I say joint sand was the icing on the cake? I meant sod! ☺️

What happens here

Begin by assessing the existing backyard area. The video shows a large expanse of dirt, indicating a need for significant ground work. Clear any existing debris, weeds, rocks, or old vegetation from the area where the sod will be laid. This initial clearing creates a clean slate for the new lawn. Although not explicitly shown, this step often involves using a shovel and rake to remove unwanted materials and level out any major irregularities.

Goal: Prepare the area by clearing debris and assessing existing conditions
