Some lines you can’t do much about.
The long line to renew your driver’s license.
The lines that popped up around your eyes, seemingly overnight. (Yikes!)
What about those lines in your new sod lawn?

What about those lines in your new sod lawn?
If you’re battling an erosion problem, you might be thinking big right now — giant retaining wall, fleet of bulldozers, a lineup of grizzly bears with super big paws.
Sand is great when you’re at the beach with bare toes, in a sandbox with your favorite toy dump truck, or need emergency cat litter.

Nobody ever says, “Hey, come over and look at my new fungus-filled sod.”
Is there any good sentence that includes the phrase, “comes with bugs in it?”
A new sod lawn is exciting, right? Maybe you’ve already bought new backyard furniture and sent the invitations to your first big backyard cookout. (Don’t forget brownies. Everybody loves brownies.)
Then you realize your new sod is turning brown.
Maybe you just got lucky: your neighbor is putting in some new garden beds and digging up some grass to make room — do you want it?
Or maybe you’re really tired of seeding that pesky bare spot, and you just want to transplant in a patch of new sod.
You don’t want to be the neighborhood’s example of bad sod installation. People pointing, whispering, driving really slowly past your house.
You went through that once when you installed your own roof, remember?
