Preparing yard for sod now?

My husband and I bought a house with a backyard that's all landscaping (rose bushes, flowers, etc.) We like it but can't keep up with it and we would like to put in grass this upcoming spring. Does anyone know if there's something we should be doing now to prepare for this? We recently had some trees removed and we're working on killing the stumps so we can remove those as well but should be removing other plants now or wait until spring? Any insight would be great- we're new at this. Thanks!

Re: Preparing yard for sod now?

  • Where do you live?  Irrigation system or not?  If you're putting in grass -  that's more upkeep with mowing,fertilizing, aereating, watering, etc  Grass uses more water than bushes and plants.  If you're not going to replant them and just trash them - no "season" for that.
