What happens here

After watering and allowing some time for the sod to establish, you can perform a quality check by peeling back a corner of the sod. Look for small, white roots starting to grow down into the subsoil. The presence of these roots indicates that the sod is successfully taking to its new environment and benefiting from your care.

Goal: Verify that the sod is successfully rooting into the subsoil.
