Black Dirt Layer for Sod

talk about in the first place. Not for sure. So, we're wrapping up this landscaping job. It's the middle of November. And one of the things that I want to point out is it's the this is the best time of the year to lay sod because the owner of this house is going to do nothing with this sod when we're done. In fact, if he waters it once, that's probably the most he's ever going to have to do with this. In this case, you got how much how many inches of black dirt we got laid down, Tim? Six. 6 in. Way overkill. In fact, I looked him in the eye. I said, "That's overkill." His wife wanted 12 in, though. That's what she said. Actually, that is what she said. She wanted 12 in of black dirt and we said, "This is just too much." In fact, what happens is when you get too much black dirt in place, the roots of the sod rot. It needs free draining soil. So, when you lay this sod down, the roots love moisture, but they don't love mud, right? So, as it goes as the roots go down, they want to be watered, but they don't want to be drowned. If you drown them, if you lay too much organic material down, you get your black dirt too thick. What's going to happen is those roots are not going to be able to breathe and they're going to die. The sod is going to suffer more than having too much black dirt is going to make your sod suffer than not having enough black dirt. Believe it or not, these sod rolls, come here. Take a look at this. This is what I mean.
