1.08 Sod Handling and Installation <br />During delivery, prior to planting and during the planting of the lawn areas, the sod panels shall <br />at all times be protected from excessive drying and unnecessary exposure of the roots to the sun. <br />All sod shall be stacked during construction and planting so as not to be damaged by sweating or <br />excessive heat and moisture. <br />After completion of soil conditioning as specified above, sod panels shall be laid tightly together <br />so as to make a solid sodded lawn area. On mounds and other slopes, the long dimension of the <br />sod shall be laid perpendicular to the slope. Immediately following sod laying the lawn areas <br />shall be rolled with a lawn roller customarily used for such purposes and then thoroughly <br />watered. <br />Sufficient watering shall be done by the Contractor to maintain adequate moisture for optimum <br />development of the lawn areas. Freshly sodded areas shall receive no less than 1.5 inches of <br />water per week. <br />2.4-6 <br />4116571114.1847 <br />
