What Is the Installation Process?
Our sod installation process is designed to ensure that your new lawn thrives. We have a strategy that leaves your property looking fresh and renewed with healthy sod that'll last. Here's a step-by-step guide to what you can expect:
Site Assessment
We'll evaluate the soil and measure your property to determine how much sod needs to be laid.
Site Preparation
Our service professionals will prepare your site by removing existing grass and weeds. We'll then till the soil to improve aeration and add soil amendments if necessary to enhance soil fertility.
Laying the Sod
We start at the longest straight edge and work our way across for efficient installation. Our team will stagger the seams to prevent erosion and ensure that every piece is tightly fitted to minimize potential gaps. This will help prevent your property from looking patchy and poorly done.
Watering
We'll immediately water the newly laid sod to help root establishment. You should also do the same for the first few weeks to maintain consistent moisture levels that'll allow the sod to settle in.
Rolling
Our last step is to use a lawn roller to press down the sod and eliminate any air pockets for consistency.
How Should I Care for My New Sod After It's Installed?
Proper care after installation is vital for maintaining a healthy and vibrant lawn. Here are some essential tips to follow:
Watering
Water daily for the first two weeks, ensuring the soil is moist but not soggy. Gradually reduce the
frequency to twice a week after the first month.
Mowing
Wait until the sod is firmly rooted (usually 2-3 weeks) before mowing. Initially, set your mower blade to the highest setting while avoiding cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length.
Fertilizing
Apply a starter fertilizer within the first month to promote root growth. Follow up with regular fertilization every 6-8 weeks during the growing season.
