Sod Selection

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

03

Sod Installation

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

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 FAQ for St. Louis Homeowners

How often should St. Louis homeowners get sod installation?
Given St. Louis's severe tornado and hail risk in spring and fall along i-44 and i-70 corridors, most homeowners benefit from sod installation at least once a year. Ice storm branch and gutter damage (Dec–Feb) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in St. Louis most need sod installation?
Red brick bungalows and two-stories throughout St. Louis County and Victorian homes in Lafayette Square and Compton Heights are the most common home types in St. Louis and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
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.
