Mostly no, but call your local sod farm as some varities can tolerate it somewhat.
You will need to sand the floor to give the thinset something to stick to.
This would depend heavily on the square footage, soil, soil preparation, etc. Most landscapers, at least in the Midwest, don't offer a square footage price as there are other factors that need to be considered. Before reaching out to someone in your area, try to determine the size of the area needed to sod. Explain if there are any shrubs, trees, plants that need to be removed before sod can be placed. Also, be sure to water the sod every day after it's first installed. You can never over-water in the beginning.
3"/75mm of sand over a solid level surface.
You might consider that if you put straw down in fall, the straw will have decayed enough by spring. But in most areas, you would be mistaken. Sod is intended to be installed on soil that is free of other plants or organic refuse and has been roughed up slightly to encourage a good solid connection between the soil and the roots on the bottom of the sod. Sod is lifted with barely enough soil to keep the plants alive while they are moved and installed in their new location. The intent is that the roots will find soil below them to draw moisture and nutrition from when they are placed. If the location you want to put the sod is low-lying and overly wet, I would add soil and compost to raise the area and improve the drainage before installing the sod but be certain that most of what you are connecting to is pure soil.
No. Sod gets iced over and snowed on in the fields with no damage.
NO... this is not normal if the Filter has been up and running for at lease a few months.Some sand could be sent to backwash after a complete sand change or top-up, but this should clear by the second backwash. There are a couple of reasons i can think of... To much pressure The pump you have got installed could be to large and is forcing out the sand. Damaged or missing diffuser These help distrobute the water over the sand, it could be damaged or simply not installed.
Yes, laying sod over existing grass is possible, but it's not recommended. The sod may not establish well due to competition with the existing grass. Sod installers typically advise clearing the old grass and prepping the soil for better results and a healthier lawn. Contact Us : 17088340271

Normally, Zoyzia is not installed in the form of sod, as it is a rapidly reproducing grass. The most common way of installing Zoyzia, is through plugs. Its nature is to quickly take over a space on its own through runners and self seeding. You may want to check around your local garden centers to find a Zoyzia plugging device, as they are quite inexpensive.
Black soil, as it is rich in organic matter (or humus) and does not leach out water as easily as sand does. Black soil tends to hold water for longer, in other words.
