Sod Installation

Professional Sod Installation & Lawn Replacement

A new lawn can completely change the appearance of a property—but the quality of the finished lawn depends heavily on what happens before the sod goes down.

Our sod installation process can include removal of the existing lawn, weeds and debris, grading and leveling, soil preparation, irrigation inspection and adjustments, and installation of fresh sod.

Proper Preparation Matters

Proper preparation gives new sod a much better foundation for establishment. Sod offers the advantage of creating an established turf surface much faster than starting a lawn from seed.

If your existing lawn has failed because of poor drainage, improper irrigation, shade, grading or other site conditions, simply covering the problem with new sod may produce the same problem again. That's why we look at the entire area before installation.

A Final Stage in a Complete Landscape Project

For complete landscape projects, sod can be the final stage after grading, drainage, irrigation, hardscape and planting work have been completed.

Planning the surrounding work first can help protect the new lawn from unnecessary disturbance later.

How It Fits Together

From Existing Lawn to Finished Sod

The finished lawn depends on the preparation underneath it and the irrigation that supports it.
