What happens here
Prepare the ground for sod installation. This involves using a compact utility loader ('Vermeer CTX100') with a cultivator attachment to break up and level the topsoil. The cultivator will push down large debris and bring up finer soil, creating a smooth, buttery surface suitable for sod. If the ground is rough, a tiller attachment could be used first, followed by the cultivator. The goal is to create an even, loose soil bed for the sod to root properly. If the soil is too wet, allow it to dry before cultivating.
Goal: Create a smooth, level soil bed for sod installation.
