To remove shells or not to remove shells

About four years ago I used pecan shell as mulch for a large area of my yard. I recently decided I want grass there. Should I remove the shells before I lay down the bermuda sod or can I just put it on top?

Remove it. Sod should be in contact with soil, not mulch.

The soil under the shells should be incredible! Nothing prepares soil like mulch. Whatever you do, do NOT rototill that area prior to installing the lawn.
