Calculando

Rollos estándar: 10 pies² (2×5). Tarima: 450-500 pies². Para 1,500 pies²: 158 rollos o 3.3 tarimas + 5% desperdicio. El césped es perecedero — instala dentro de 24-48 horas de entrega. Riega inmediatamente y diariamente por 2-3 semanas.

Instalación

Nivela el suelo, agrega compost/tierra si es necesario, compacta ligeramente. Escala las juntas como ladrillos. Riega profundamente inmediatamente. No camines sobre césped nuevo por 2-3 semanas. Primera siega: cuando crezca 1/3 más de lo normal.

⚡ CalcWolf Insight

The biggest sod mistake: not watering enough in the first 2 weeks. New sod needs 1 inch of water daily until roots bond to the soil (pull test: tug gently — if it resists, roots are growing). Under-watering by even one day in summer can kill entire sections. Set a timer reminder to water morning and evening.
