Abstract/Contents:Discusses turf installation projects, stating that "each one has different situations and timelines." Suggests that "the process of selecting...turf means that [one] is going to have to build a relationship with the sod grower that will last over the years, making repairs and re-sodding easier." States that "when [one is] satisfied with [the] choice of sod producer, [one] can begin choosing [the] turf." Suggests to "start with the sand/soil selection." Explains that "once [one] has established the correct soil type, move on to the varieites of grass." Suggests that "as the turf is going down, start watering. Although the turf may appear fresh and healthy, it is stressed...no matter what the weather is like (unless snow or rain), water!"
