  • Sod refers to a layer of soil with grass and its roots bound together. It's often used in landscaping to quickly establish a lawn or patch of grass. Sod can be laid down to create an instant lawn, providing immediate greenery and erosion control. It's one of the best ways to get the lush and green lawn you love without waiting months for grass seeds to grow.

  • Sod installation goes beyond a simple DIY task and involves more than just a bit of physical effort. Given that sod is a substantial investment in your home and property, it's sensible to engage a professional for its installation. Our sod installation and maintenance process includes:

    • Remove any existing grass and weeds.
    • Amend the soil as needed.
    • Grade the soil for level and proper drainage.
    • Install the sod adhering to industry standards.
    • Instrument sprinkler or irrigation systems to ensure adequate watering.

Keeping Fresh Sod Healthy

After the installation of your new sod, you will need to adhere to certain maintenance steps. Freshly-laid sod requires a different care routine compared to an established lawn. Refrain from hosting outdoor events or mowing perfect lines on your new lawn. Follow these guidelines to ensure your sod turns into a lush and appealing yard:

Week One

Water your sod sufficiently without overdoing it and prevent it from drying out. Watering should be done three to four times a day for five to ten minutes each. Complete watering before sundown. Avoid stepping on your newly installed sod for at least two weeks to prevent damage.

Week Two

Water your sod for 30 minutes daily, which can be broken down into two 15-minute sessions if necessary.

Week Three & Beyond

After three weeks, it's okay to mow the new lawn. We recommend setting the mower deck high and not cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length. Six weeks post-installation, start fertilizing your lawn.
