Roll sod with a smooth roller following placement to ensure <br /> good contact with the soil. <br /> During the establishment period, erect barriers, with warning signs where <br /> necessary, to preclude pedestrian traffic over the newly placed sod. <br /> Prepare areas for sod in accordance with standard horticultural practices as follows: <br /> 1. Rototill, or otherwise cultivate, to a minimum depth of 4-inches into the <br /> ground surface. Thoroughly incorporate a 10-2-10 fertilizer in the rototilling <br /> process at a rate of 4 pounds of available Nitrogen per 1000 square feet. <br /> 2.
