Our Sod Installation Process

We follow a proven, step-by-step process to ensure your new lawn has the best possible foundation for long-term success:

On-Site Lawn & Soil Evaluation

We begin with a thorough evaluation of your property. We assess:

  • Soil condition

  • Drainage patterns

  • Sun and shade exposure

  • Existing irrigation system performance

This allows us to recommend the best type of sod grass for your specific landscape and climate.

Removal of Old Grass & Weeds

We use professional-grade equipment to:

  • Strip away existing grass, weeds, and debris

  • Kill off any remaining weed roots

  • Haul away the waste to leave a clean slate

This crucial step prevents competition and ensures your new sod roots properly.

Soil Preparation & Grading

Next, we:

  • Till and loosen the soil to improve oxygen and water penetration

  • Add soil amendments if necessary (lime, topsoil, or compost)

  • Grade the area for optimal water drainage and a level surface

Proper soil prep ensures deep root establishment and long-term turf health.

Sprinkler System Inspection

If your property has an irrigation system, we:

  • Test all sprinkler zones

  • Adjust coverage to ensure full reach

  • Recommend upgrades or repairs if needed

This step ensures your new sod receives proper watering during its critical rooting period.

Fresh Sod Installation

We install fresh-cut sod in staggered rows with tight seams to prevent gaps and erosion. Our team pays close attention to:

  • Edge alignment

  • Pattern consistency

  • Full root-to-soil contact

  • Rolling & Watering

Once the sod is laid, we:

  • Use a sod roller to press the grass into the soil and remove air pockets

  • Perform an initial deep watering to kickstart root growth

Post-Installation Lawn Care Instructions

You’ll receive a custom sod care guide, including:

  • Watering schedule (especially important during the first 2–3 weeks)

  • Mowing tips

  • Fertilizer and pest control recommendations
