Replace part 3- Execution text on pages 6-8 of specification 32 92 23 Grass Sodding with the following
text:
3.1 EXAMINATION

A. Examine areas to be planted for compliance with requirements and other conditions affecting
performance.
1. Verify that no foreign or deleterious material or liquid such as paint, paint washout,
concrete slurry, concrete layers or chunks, cement, plaster, oils, gasoline, diesel fuel,
paint thinner, turpentine, tar, roofing compound, or acid has been deposited in soil within
a planting area.
2. Do not mix or place soils and soil amendments in frozen, wet, or muddy conditions.
3. Suspend soil spreading, grading, and tilling operations during periods of excessive soil
moisture until the moisture content reaches acceptable levels to attain the required results.
4. Uniformly moisten excessively dry soil that is not workable and which is too dusty.
B. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
C. If contamination by foreign or deleterious material or liquid is present in soil within a planting
area, remove the soil and contamination as directed by Architect and replace with new planting
soil.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. Protect structures, utilities, sidewalks, pavements, and other facilities, trees, shrubs, and
plantings from damage caused by planting operations.
1. Protect grade stakes set by others until directed to remove them.
B. Install erosion-control measures to prevent erosion or displacement of soils and discharge of
soil-bearing water runoff or airborne dust to adjacent properties and walkways.
3.3 TURF AREA PREPARATION
A. Limit turf subgrade preparation to areas to be planted.
B. Newly Graded Subgrades: Loosen subgrade to a minimum depth of 6 inches (100 mm).
Remove stones larger than 1 inch (25 mm) in any dimension and sticks, roots, rubbish, and
other extraneous matter and legally dispose of them off Owner's property.
1. Spread planting soil to a depth of 4 inches (100 mm) but not less than required to meet
finish grades after light rolling and natural settlement. Do not spread if planting soil or
subgrade is frozen, muddy, or excessively wet.
a. Spread planting soil, organic soil amendments, and soil conditioner over loosened
subgrade. Mix thoroughly into top 6 inches (100 mm) of subgrade.
b. Reduce elevation of planting soil as necessary to allow for soil thickness of sod.
C. Unchanged Subgrades: If turf is to be planted in areas unaltered or undisturbed by excavating,
grading, or surface-soil stripping operations, prepare surface soil as follows:
1. Remove existing grass, vegetation, and turf. Do not mix into surface soil.

2. Loosen surface soil to a depth of at least 8 inches (200 mm). Apply soil amendments and
fertilizers according to planting soil mix proportions and mix thoroughly into top 6 inches
(100 mm) of soil. Till soil to a homogeneous mixture of fine texture.
3. Remove stones larger than 1 inch (25 mm) in any dimension and sticks, roots, trash, and
other extraneous matter.
4. Legally dispose of waste material, including grass, vegetation, and turf, off Owner's
property.
D. Finish Grading: Grade planting areas to a smooth, uniform surface plane with loose, uniformly
fine texture. Grade to within plus or minus 1/2 inch (13 mm) of finish elevation. Roll and rake,
remove ridges, and fill depressions to meet finish grades. Limit finish grading to areas that can
be planted in the immediate future.
E. Moisten prepared area before planting if soil is dry. Water thoroughly and allow surface to dry
before planting. Do not create muddy soil.
F. Before planting, obtain Architect's acceptance of finish grading; restore planting areas if eroded
or otherwise disturbed after finish grading.
3.4 SODDING
A. Lay sod within 24 hours of harvesting. Do not lay sod if dormant or if ground is frozen or
muddy.
B. Lay sod to form a solid mass with tightly fitted joints. Butt ends and sides of sod; do not stretch
or overlap. Stagger sod strips or pads to offset joints in adjacent courses. Avoid damage to
subgrade or sod during installation. Tamp and roll lightly to ensure contact with subgrade,
eliminate air pockets, and form a smooth surface. Work sifted soil or fine sand into minor
cracks between pieces of sod; remove excess to avoid smothering sod and adjacent grass.
1. Lay sod across angle of slopes exceeding 1:3.
2. Anchor sod on slopes exceeding 1:6 with wood pegs spaced as recommended by sod
manufacturer but not less than 2 anchors per sod strip to prevent slippage.
C. Saturate sod with fine water spray within two hours of planting. During first week after
planting, water daily or more frequently as necessary to maintain moist soil to a minimum depth
of 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) below sod.
