Specification Guidelines


To help meet the needs of landscape architects, contractors and design companies,
Sod Solutions is now providing online guidelines for specifying turfgrass at http://www.sodsolutions.com/professionals/specify/how_to_specify. The information sheets help navigate through the entire specification process; from soil testing to the eventual laying of the sod.

For example, firms that specialize in a certain type of activity may use these guideline specifications when bidding only on a portion of a project, such as supply or placement of topsoil, etc. On the other hand, a general contractor, architect or owner may present these specifications as a means of establishing comparable bidding considerations.

The guidelines are presented in six specific sections, and produced in a manner that will permit the use of all or selected sections with tremendous ease and maximum flexibility. Each section can stand alone, be incorporated into an overall set of specifications for an entire turfgrass sod project or be used in any combination.
