When starting to lay sod on a slope, from which point should the work begin?

When starting to lay sod on a slope, beginning at the bottom is the most effective approach. This method allows water to flow naturally downward, which helps ensure that the sod has adequate moisture and establishes better root contact with the soil. By working from the bottom up, any excess soil movement or erosion that may occur during installation and the initial watering phase can be minimized.

For slopes, beginning at the bottom also assists in managing runoff. If laying sod starts at the top, there is a higher risk of soil and sod being washed away as the water runs downhill over the newly laid sod, potentially leading to erosion and loss of soil stability.

Overall, starting at the bottom of a slope helps maintain soil integrity and enhances the sod's chances of thriving in its new environment.
