Final Inspection and Customer Review

yes all right Billy we got a sprinkler head right here boom now we know right we're right where the sprinkler heads go Mary I'm shooting a video on how to sautee yard I hope you don't mind okay so there's some certain things that you've got to do to keep your sod alive now that its installed you've got a good base in but the most important thing is watering it and checking to make sure that the watering is actually accurate or adequate I should say four because a lot of times people will surface water but they're not watering the subsoil so let me actually show you what I'm talking about so what you'll do is after you're done watering you'll come out and you'll flip over a corner like this okay and what you want to see is that ground moist not mud but just moist like this you can see how this is nice and moist this is a little bit dry right here but this is nice and moist this is perfect and what you'll see is you see these little teeny tiny white roots right there you want to see those like spider webs all over once you once you get to that point then you know your roots starting to adhere to the subsoil okay a couple things to be careful of and I want to show you Japanese beetles are everywhere now the Japanese beetle larva so one of the worst things to a new youth lon are these guys right here marry Japanese beetle now this one I don't think is a Japanese beetle larva but they lay eggs and then they grow up and they get pretty big like this and these guys will cruise underneath your side and all they do is eat at those little tiny white roots that we were talking about right and so you'll find dead spots all over and that means you've got to treat it now you can get treatment for these guys at a number of different places and you want to try to identify the growth stage that they're in if you notice that happening that's because these guys have invaded and they love to go after new sod I mean it's just part of their em all it is it really sucks okay so we put in here so I'm just gonna water it twice a day yep it doesn't matter how often you water it's to make sure that it gets underneath it that's that's more important than how often you water I mean twice a day is a good rule of thumb but if it's a scorcher out you may need to water more often okay there's another
