If you do choose to have your lawn installed
with sod, don’t forget about MulchWorx for your pre-installation soil amendment.
You don’t want to pay the high cost for sod and just place it on the hard clay.
Sod needs a good base to insure its roots take hold and prospers in the future.
Placing sod on clay or other poor surfaces is like buying the best diamond and taping it to your wife’s hand. If you are going to fork over the hard cash for sod you must insure it has the necessary
nutrients it needs to survive. Sod placed on a clay surface comes with some potential problems such as:
- The sod will have to be watered more than normal due to the inability for clay to hold moisture well
- Irrigation with professional sprinklers will probably become a necessity
- The sod will have to be fertilized often due to the inability for clay to hold and disperse nutrients into the roots
of the sod
- Sod has exposed root system which needs to be placed on a surface that can accommodate its excessive needs
- Sod has the risk of burning out during a heavy drought or heat wave during summer months.

MulchWorx has the ability to blow-in composted soil over the
entire area where sod will be placed. This process is non destructive to the
land and can be blown in just prior to the sod installation. This bedding is
close to or better than the soil the sod was cut from at the farm and compost holds a host of nutrients and moisture much
better than clay. MulchWorx has the ability to inject its fertilizer and natural
polymer into the soil to further stimulate the sod. The polymer will remain in
the soil for up to 8 years giving the sod the extra moisture it needs due to its ability to hold up to 300 times its weight
in water. Lets face it, if you are going to pay for the sod why not insure its
survival and beauty for years to come with composted bedding blown- in by MulchWorx.
