CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />SPECIFICATIONS <br />PROJECT NO.: XX-XXXX <br />PROJECT TITLE <br /> <br />135 <br />5.02.22 SOD PLANTING <br />A. Preparing the soil: Remove rocks, weeds and debris from area to be sodded. Work up <br />soil to a depth of 6 inches and break up all clods. Soil prep all areas as noted <br />elsewhere in specifications. <br />B. Grading and Rolling: Carefully smooth all surfaces to be sodded. Roll area to <br />exposed soil depressions or surface irregularities. Regrade as required. <br />C. Fertilizing: Spread Turf Fertilizer Gro-Power Plus onto the soil evenly at the rate of <br />200 pounds per 1,000 sq. feet of lawn. <br />D. Laying sod: Lay first strip of sod slabs along a straight line (use a string in irregular <br />areas). Butt joints tightly, do not overlap edges. On second strip, stagger joints much <br />as in laying bricks. Use a sharp knife to cut sod to fit curves, edges and sprinkler <br />heads. <br />E. Watering: Do not lay whole lawn before watering. When a conveniently large area <br />has been sodded, water lightly to prevent drying. Continue to lay sod, and to water <br />until installation is complete. <br />F. Rolling sod: After laying all the sod, roll lightly to eliminate irregularities and to form <br />good contact between sod and soil. Avoid a very heavy roller or excessive initial <br />watering which may cause roller marks. <br />G. Irrigation: Water thoroughly the completed lawn surface. Soil should be moistened at <br />least 8 inches deep. Repeat sprinkling at regular intervals to keep sod moist at all <br />times until rooted. After sod is established, decrease frequency and increase amount <br />of water per application as necessary. <br />H. Replacement: Replace all dead or dying sod with equal material as directed by <br />Engineer. <br />5.02.23 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL <br />A. GENERAL: Notify Engineer at least 48 hours in advance (or as required below) <br />when requesting on-site reviews. <br />B. SCHEDULE FOR ON-SITE REVIEWS: <br />1. Pre-job conference - 5 days. <br />2. At completion of finish grading - 48 hours. <br />3. At delivery of plant materials - 48 hours. <br />4.
