Also to know is, can you relocate sod?

Sometimes it's necessary to remove growing grass and plant it in another area. Sod is not difficult to transplant but it will take some advance planning. Choose a cloudy day if possible on which to do your transplanting so the grass doesn't dry out.

Subsequently, question is, can you dig up grass and replant it? The first step is to till up the ground where you want to transplant your grass. This will break the soil up and make it easier for the sod to connect in the new area, allowing for the grass roots to take. The best way to get the grass up is to work in strips about the width of the shovel.

Subsequently, one may also ask, how do you remove sod and replant it?

First use an edger or spade to create a cut around the edges of the area you want to remove. Then press the shovel down into the soil below the roots, slide the shovel under the roots and carefully pull out the patch of sod.
