Default St. Augutsine grass - too early to sod in Feb?

Yes, it's fine. I put mine down in January 4 years ago. Keep it watered well
and don't walk on it for a while.


Speaking of sod, is there any particular treatment that should
be done to the ground before putting down St. Augustine? Is
roto-tilling a good idea, or is it unnecessary? The area I
need to sod isn't particularly compacted, but not exactly
loose either.

Thanks.
