Professional Sod Installation Services – Fast, Durable, and Affordable
Sod is the ideal solution for quickly achieving a lush, green, and evenly-colored lawn—without the long waiting time required for traditional seeding. It’s perfect for residential yards, commercial landscapes, parks, and large-scale landscaping projects that need immediate visual impact.

Best Time to Install Sod
Sod can be installed year-round, depending on your local climate. However, spring and fall are generally the most ideal seasons, as they offer moderate temperatures that help the sod root faster and grow healthier. Even in summer or winter, with proper irrigation and installation techniques, sod can still thrive successfully.
Estimated Sod Installation Cost

|---|---|
| DIY (Buy & Install Yourself) | $300 – $900 |
| Full-Service Installation | $600 – $1,800 |
⚠️Note: Actual costs may vary based on lawn size, grass type, soil condition, and location. We offer free on-site assessments and detailed quotes before starting any work.
Sod Installation Process
1. Site Assessment & Ground Preparation
Remove old grass, rocks, and roots
Loosen soil to a depth of 6–8 inches for better aeration and root penetration
Add compost or organic fertilizer if needed
2. Grading & Leveling
Eliminate low spots and level the surface
Grade soil about 1 inch below walkways for a clean sod edge
3. Laying the Sod
Lay sod rolls tightly in straight rows without overlapping
Stagger the seams like brickwork for stronger connections
Use a sharp cutter for edges and curves near borders
4. Watering & Rolling
Water immediately after installation to provide moisture for root bonding
Use a lawn roller to eliminate air pockets and ensure firm soil contact
Aftercare & Watering Schedule
| Week | Watering Frequency |
|---|---|
| Week 1 | Daily in the early morning |
| Week 2 | Every other day |
| Week 3 | Twice per week |
| Week 4+ | Maintain 1 inch of water/week |
💡Tip: Avoid foot traffic on the new sod for at least 7–10 days to prevent damage to developing roots.
Mowing & Fertilizing Tips
First mow when grass reaches around 3 inches high
Cut only the top 1/3 of the grass blade
Use a sharp mower blade to avoid tearing the turf
After 3–4 weeks, apply fertilizer to boost root growth and color vibrancy
Caring for Shady Areas
If your lawn receives limited sunlight, reduce watering and fertilizer by 20–30%, and choose shade-tolerant sod varieties. This ensures healthy, consistent growth even in low-light areas.
