I'm fairly handy and was first contemplating installing our own sod: 5-6 pallets of st Augustin.... We have about 400 sq ft Augustine now healthy and am prepping the back yard by weeding, rough leveling and an eventual rolling of the native grasses/junk.
Question: would it be ok to just til the soil 55' x 45' btw and then roll it, add some fertilizer, install
Sod, roll again? Do I need to add a few yards of top soil?
As far as irrigation: I've done tons of maintenance in the past on systems and figured I'd install 3-5 zones. I have a plan to add a drip valve along a fence line. Eventually have plumber I've use connect the line to the water. I have 3/4, 15-18 GPM. I know some heads can use 3GPM.
Any feedback or hard lessons learned?
