We set our sod cutting machines at a 1 inch depth and begin to cut the root systems throughout the entire area. Once the area is cut, we will clean up the debris with up pitchforks, shovels or use our skid steer machine to clear the surface.
After we’ve clean the entire surface area we will prep the edges around all concrete borders and flowerbeds to make sure everything is thoroughly cleaned and ready for the sod installation process.
