SOD INSTALLATION

Why choose sod?
Choosing sod over seed offers several compelling advantages. Firstly, sod provides an instant and lush green lawn, saving you the time and patience required for grass seed to germinate and establish. This means you can enjoy a fully developed lawn in a matter of days or weeks rather than months. Sod also ensures uniformity and consistency in your lawn's appearance, whereas grass seed can result in uneven growth and potential for patchy areas. Furthermore, sod offers better weed suppression and erosion control from day one, reducing maintenance efforts. While the upfront cost of sod may be higher, the convenience, immediate results, and long-term benefits make it a wise choice when you're seeking a quick and reliable solution to achieve a beautiful and functional lawn.

When is the installation process for sod?
The sod installation process typically begins with thorough site preparation, which involves clearing the area of any current grass, weeds, or debris.  The yard is then leveled & graded, bringing in a layer of topsoil if needed to create a smooth, uniform surface. The soil is then properly compacted & fresh, healthy rolls of sod are laid. Regular and consistent watering during the initial weeks is essential to ensure the sod takes root and thrives. Before we complete the job, we will leave you with a list of tips to help achieve the best results.  With proper care, the sod will gradually merge with the underlying soil, resulting in a vibrant, green lawn.

How long until sod is "ready"?
During the first week or two, it's crucial to keep the sod consistently moist to encourage root establishment. By the end of the second week, you can typically walk on the sod without causing damage. Within three to four weeks, the sod will have firmly rooted itself into the underlying soil, making it ready for regular activities like lawn games, picnics, or simply relishing the beauty of a lush, green lawn. Compared to the patience required for growing grass from seed, sod provides a remarkably swift solution for those seeking immediate landscape transformation.
