The kick type sod cutters are seldom seen in stores. They can sometimes be rented. I bought one two years ago and never looked back. It is very useful for removing a sodded area of any size, and is also useful for removing sod for a trench. Anybody who has removed sod with a spade or the like of can appreciate this simple sod cutting tool.

The sod is easier to handle when the ground is wet. The kick sod cutter tool makes the job easy. Making a small gardening bed, or planting a tree or, shrub is very easy

The sod is torn up into small chunks and put through a yard machine and re-worked into the bed. The sod cannot be soaking but normal moisture is fine, since it will go through the yard machine without jamming. If too dry it creates too much dust. The yard machine effectively destroys the grass roots and absolutely no grass came up during the growing season.
