Pro tip: Making cuts in sod? Use a drywall saw! Clean and easy!
What happens here
Begin by kneeling alongside the stone pathway where the sod meets its edge. Take a specialized sod cutting knife or a sharp utility knife and carefully start cutting the sod. Position the blade directly against the edge of the stone pathway, following its natural curves and irregularities. Apply firm, steady pressure to cut through the sod layer, ensuring the cut is clean and precise. Work along the entire length of the pathway where sod needs to be trimmed, removing any excess grass pieces as you go to reveal a crisp, defined line between the sod and the stones.
Goal: Create a clean and defined edge between the sod and the pathway
