WHAT TO EXPECT

How Sod Installation Works

Sod installation is a same-day transformation, but the prep work before delivery and the watering commitment after installation determine whether it roots or fails.

Soil & Grade Assessment

Before sod is ordered, we look at the existing soil condition, grade, and drainage. Sod laid over poor soil or a drainage problem fails at the same rate as sod over a good base — the sod does not fix the underlying issue.

Soil Preparation & Grading

Old turf, weeds, and debris are removed. The soil grade is corrected so the finished lawn drains away from structures and sits level enough for the sod to make uniform contact. Uneven soil creates dead spots.

Sod Delivery & Laying

Sod is laid the same day it is delivered. We stagger seams like brickwork so joints do not line up. Edges and curves are cut to fit rather than left ragged.

Rolling & First Watering

Once the sod is laid, it gets rolled to improve soil contact and saturated with a heavy initial watering. The first 24 hours of water are the most important — sod that dries out before it starts rooting does not recover.

We walk the finished install with you and explain exactly what the watering schedule looks like for the first three weeks. You will know how to check if the sod is rooting properly and when it is safe to mow.

SERVICE OVERVIEW

Quick Answers

Can I walk on new sod immediately?

You should limit foot traffic for the first few weeks to allow the roots to knit into the soil without shifting.

How much watering does new sod need?

It needs significant water initially—often daily—to prevent the rolls from drying out and shrinking, until the roots are established.

When can I mow new sod?

Usually after 2 to 3 weeks, once you gently pull on the grass and feel firm resistance, indicating the roots have taken hold.
