Thanks for the info. I am going to call the extension office and see what the turn around time is on a soil test. I have a week or so (at least) before I will be laying the sod so I might get the test back in time. In the meantime, I checked the soil test summary for the county and the majority of the pH soil samples are 6.4 or above with a median of 6.9. Odds are the client's soil will be slightly acidic which argues against peat and for lime, but there is no way to be sure without the test and I hesitate to guess how much lime to apply without one. I think it will be worth the wait for the soil test and I'll know to do this first next time around and save some time.
I'm glad I found this site. By the time I get out there this client will have a good chance to go from having the worst (and I mean worst- neighbors walk by and just shake their heads) lawn on the block to one of the best. Thanks again for the help.
