Creating a Berm With Poor Sod Below

Question

Must I remove really poor growing sod before building a berm on top to max 14″ height? Plastic will be placed on top of sod except where I’d plant small shrubs on the berm—-okay to leave the sod? Tall evergreens shade the area for 3/4 of the day.

Answer 1

Yes, it is ok to leave the sod. It will die off and not cause any problems.
