Our Sod Installation Process

1
Site Preparation

Existing grass, weeds, and debris are removed. Soil is graded for proper drainage and amended with topsoil or compost as needed.

2
Sod Selection

We recommend the right grass variety for your climate, sun exposure, and intended use (foot traffic, aesthetics, drought tolerance).

3
Sod Installation

Fresh sod is delivered and installed in staggered rows, with seams tightly fitted and edges cut clean around beds and borders.

4
Rolling & Watering

Sod is rolled to eliminate air pockets and given an immediate deep watering. We provide a watering schedule for the critical establishment period.

Sod Installation by City

Our local pros understand the unique conditions of your city — climate, home types, and seasonal challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can I use my new sod lawn?
Light foot traffic is okay after 2 weeks. Full use is safe after 4–6 weeks once roots have established. Mowing can begin once the grass reaches the appropriate height.
How much does sod installation cost?
Sod installation typically runs $1–$2 per square foot for materials and labor. A typical 2,000 sq ft lawn costs $2,000–$4,000 installed.
What's the best time of year to install sod?
Spring and fall are ideal for most grass types, as moderate temperatures reduce stress and improve establishment. Sod can be installed in summer with more aggressive watering.
How often should I water new sod?
New sod needs watering 2–3 times daily for the first 2 weeks to keep it moist. After roots establish, transition to deeper, less frequent watering.
