It is recommended to cover the entire garden with a layer of mulch, topsoil and river sand in equal proportions, all well-homogenized. The land must be well established so that we do not leave footprints when walking across the land; that is the perfect state. We can use a roller to level the ground well.

With this, we would have the base where the sods will be installed. Now, we will set the guidelines for planting natural grass in rolls. We must be clear that it is a very simple task and can be done by oneself.

The natural grass rolls are easily manageable due to their measurements of 2.50 cm x 0.40 cm. Its weight ranges from 15 to 20 kg, making it easy to place.

To install it, we must unroll each sod on the ground as if they were carpets. The way they should be placed is staggered; the natural grass slabs should not be aligned.

The rolls of natural grass must be close together; we will bring each sod close together so that there is no separation between the lines. If, in some cases, we have not been able to join those lines well, we can top-dress with a mixture of peat and sand in equal parts.

We will be able to notice the joints during the first days; after these, the rolls of natural grass will have formed a completely dense layer. It will form a perfect green blanket, free of bald patches and weeds.

To adjust the sod to the decoration of the garden, pool, picnic area, trees,… we will only need a cutter or sharp knife. We will make the cuts where necessary, so that the rolls of natural grass adapt perfectly to the entire garden.

After installation, we will use a roller so that the sods come into good contact with the earth. This way, we will prevent air pockets from forming, which can cause great damage to that garden area in just a few hours.

Three irrigations should be carried out during the first ten days of its installation, even if it coincides with hours of intense sun. The most important thing is that the natural grass rolls root correctly.

After these first days, the irrigations will be spaced to only two, one in the early morning and another in the evening. The first mowing should be carried out fifteen days after installation and at a height of approximately 3 cm.

By following these simple steps on how to plant natural grass in rolls or sods, you will not have any problems, and you will get a garden in perfect condition—a resistant and sustainable natural grass.

Natural grass slabs have a great power of adaptation and regeneration; they can be installed on all types of terrain, flat or sloping, and at any time of the year. We can also use them to renew the entire garden or only plant each sod in those most damaged areas.
