Sod Installation

What is “Sodding” and What’s Our Process?

A sodding job involves the installation of sod on a barren or bare patch of land. The objective of this job is to provide a quick and efficient way to create a lush, green lawn without the need for seeds or soil preparation.

The process starts with preparing the ground by removing any existing vegetation, followed by the application of fresh soil. The soil is then leveled and compacted to provide a solid base for the sod to be placed on. Once the soil is prepared, the sod is laid on the ground in a staggered pattern that eliminates seams or gaps. Our official choice of sod that we use for every installation job is Kentucky Bluegrass. The sod is then watered and rolled to ensure proper contact with the soil beneath. (This process is crucial to the success of the new lawn as it helps to promote root growth and helps the sod establish itself in the new location). Sodding is a great option for homeowners looking for an instant lawn without the wait for grass seed to grow. For a more detailed description of sodding, and for any questions, please refer to our “Sodding FAQ” page for more information.

"Why Should I Choose Sod Over Seeding?"

"Why Should I Choose Sod Over Seeding?"

There are several reasons why someone might choose sodding over seeding.

Overall, sodding is a better choice for those who want a quick, low-maintenance, and attractive lawn that can be used immediately.

  1. Speed: Sodding provides an instant lawn, whereas seeding can take several weeks to grow and mature.

  2. Ease of use: Sodding is a simple process that can be completed in a day or two, whereas seeding requires preparation of the soil, laying the seed, and regular watering and maintenance.

  3. Consistency: Sodding provides a uniform, attractive lawn with no bare spots or clumps of grass, whereas seeding can result in patchy growth or uneven coverage.

  4. Durability: Sodded lawns are better equipped to handle heavy traffic and extreme weather conditions, whereas seeded lawns can take longer to establish roots and may be more susceptible to damage.

  5. Cost: While sodding can be more expensive upfront, it may save time and money in the long run by eliminating the need for regular maintenance and repairs.

“Why Should I Consider Getting My Lawn Re-Sodded?”

There are several reasons why you might want to get your lawn re-sodded:

  1. Wear and Tear: Over time, your lawn may become damaged due to heavy foot traffic, pets, or severe weather conditions, making it look patchy and unsightly. Re-sodding can restore the appearance of your lawn and improve its durability.

  2. Poor Drainage: If your lawn experiences regular standing water, it can lead to the growth of weeds, moss, or other undesirable plants. Re-sodding can help improve the drainage of your lawn and prevent these problems.

  3. Uneven Growth: If your lawn has bare spots or uneven growth, re-sodding can provide a uniform, lush appearance.

  4. New Landscape: If you want to create a new landscape, re-sodding can provide a quick and easy way to create a green, attractive lawn without the need for seeds or soil preparation.

  5. Soil Problems: If your lawn is suffering from soil compaction, poor nutrients, or other issues, re-sodding can help improve the health and appearance of your lawn.

Overall, re-sodding your lawn can provide many benefits, including improving its appearance, durability, and health. It is a quick and efficient way to transform your outdoor space into a beautiful and functional area.
