Default Removing small roots from lawn

Because the grass sod coming in has 4 inches of dirt with it, and I can't
dig out 4" of dirt with the roots there. Do you understand how to
transplant healthy grass?


I've probably laid more sod, in the past year, than you've laid in your
entire life. I've never seen a sod farm pull 4" of soil on either a "big
roll" or a pallet. Never. As in not one time. Sound's like *you're* the
one
that doesn't know how to 'transplant healthy grass'.


I'm not a sod farm idiot. Sod farms don't transplant 4" of soil. I do. It
captures
1) more "topsoil"
2) more healthy root of established grass

I'm not transplanting rolls of sod, I'm transplanting small chunks by the
shovel full to patch small areas.

Frankly, you don't seem too bright.


Maybe I'm not. *shrug*


You're not. And you're close minded and presumptuous as well.
