What happens here

This project outlines the critical steps involved in preparing a ground surface for sod installation. It begins with loosening and breaking up the existing soil, often through tilling, to ensure proper aeration and drainage. The subsequent, and often most meticulous, phase involves hand-raking and leveling the entire area to remove all significant debris like rocks and roots, and to create a perfectly smooth, even grade. This thorough preparation is essential for the successful establishment of new sod, preventing future issues with an uneven lawn or poor root development.
