Grass & Sod Installation

New lawns laid on prepared, graded soil

Sod gives you a finished lawn in a day, but it only takes root if the ground underneath is ready for it. Laid over old dead grass, hard-packed clay or a bumpy grade, it dries out at the seams, settles unevenly and turns patchy by the end of summer. We do the part you don't see: old turf and weeds removed, the soil tilled and amended, the grade raked smooth and sloped away from the house, and the sprinkler coverage checked before the first roll goes down. Then the sod is laid tight with staggered seams, rolled for good contact with the soil, and watered in — with a clear watering schedule for the first few weeks, which is when a new lawn is won or lost.

Our Process

1

Strip the Old Lawn

Existing grass, weeds and roots are removed so the new sod is not laid over anything that will die underneath it.

2

Prepare the Ground

Soil is tilled, amended and graded smooth, sloped away from the house, and the sprinklers are checked for full coverage.

3

Lay the Sod

Rolls are laid tight with staggered seams, cut cleanly around edges and beds, and rolled down firmly.

4

Water It In

The new lawn is soaked right away and the controller is set for frequent watering until the roots take hold.
