Installation Tips and Grading Tools

jobs and you can just use this as an example for your own projects I have between one and two guys that lay the field that means they just they're just focusing on sticking sod in this general area and then I have one guy what I call a dedicated cutter and this guy is trimming up all the corners cuz you can see this is a irregular shape we're not actually putting the saw in and then the square we're putting the sod to this semi weird circle thing right here right well this has to all be cut every piece of s has to be cut and it takes almost as much time as it takes to lay out the side so the fastest way to do it is to get the field started and then to have a person start cutting the corners so that it's all cut in by the time that the field is all done and everybody can leave at the same time you don't want a bottleneck tools how do you grade let's get into that a little bit um a lot of the times I just use a skid steer with tracks okay maybe you don't have a skid steer with tracks don't worry about that rubber tired skid steer works as well and if you don't have that don't worry about it okay I did the one of the biggest grading jobs I ever did was for the Shaka women's prison here in Minnesota and it was acres and Acres I had to grade and I grabbed a four-wheeler and I grabbed a piece of chain length fence was actually the gate out of a chain length fence cuz it had the frame around it then I threw a couple cement blocks on the top and I cruised around all day long just driving back and forth Works phenomenally but let's say you don't have an area that big what else can you use you can use a hard rake the very first thing I I say is use a hard rake but then follow it up with a spring rake an actual leaf rake just like the big old plastic Leaf rakes that you probably have lying around you can buy them for three bucks down at Menard's Home Depot Lowe's your local place I don't care where you get it don't spend a lot of money on it that spring rake it's the same as a chain link fence it's the same as a grading bar phenomenal I would have never realized it if my lazy truck driver hadn't so let's clarify what I mean by lazy truck driver lazy truck driver means he was in search of a better way plain and simple and that's how you refine the installation techniques on your in in every project that you do so we've covered estimating we've covered calculating the size we went over a few tips and tricks on how to install it next comes your questions whatever you…
