Sod Installation


WE DO SODDING THE RIGHT WAY!

Unlike many other companies we do not use a roto-tiller to mix the existing lawn, weeds and soil. We use a sod cutter and remove the entire existing lawn before we properly grade and install the new sod. We take leveling the soil very seriously, a properly graded lawn will drain water away from your home and allow your new lawn to grow properly. With many years of experience in sodding, we have worked with the area's biggest home builders to sod hundreds of new homes. Now is your chance to have a brand new lawn that is even

You will not find better prices on sod installation than with us, we charge a FLAT RATE of $1.25 per square foot! This includes the removal, disposal, sod installation and even the fresh new sod. Many other companies will charge varying prices based on size or how busy they are and hidden fees for disposal and dumping. We don't ! We charge a flat rate for sod installation all year round. The only additional price you pay with us is for soil which is a flat rate $150 per yard and includes the soil, delivery and installation. This is because some yards may need more or less soil depending on the grading, usually about 500 sq ft will require 1 yard of new soil.

  • remove the entire lawn area to bare soil
  • add fresh topsoil to even out areas and provide a better base for the new sod to grow

Why Sod?

Seeding v.s Sodding

• Establishment for seeding is longer 
• Time for seeding is limited to spring and late summer/early fall 
• High temperatures and insufficient water will dry out seed
• Weeds can become a problem because of the bare soil associated with seeding
• With seeding the area is inaccessible until the seed is fully established, could be weeks

New Sod Maintenance

• Sod should root in about 14 days. 
• Water ever day for the first week, then every second day the following week 
• Mow using the "1/3 rule". Do not remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade at one time. Gradually mow down to 2-2.5 inch height. 
• Fertilize as per regular schedule
• Avoid walking on until the sod has rooted
