What is Sod Installation and is it Right For You?
The sodding process involves laying down pre-grown grass in rolls or slabs on your lawn. Getting sod installed professionally is the ideal choice if you want a fast, beautiful transformation for your yard.
High quality sod is especially beneficial in areas where grass struggles to grow, such as spots with poor soil, high traffic, or shaded or partial shade conditions.
Benefits of Sod Installation
Sod installation is perfect for homeowners who want immediate results and a long-lasting, vibrant turf that’s low maintenance.

How Much Does Sod Installation Usually Cost?
The cost of adding sod can vary based on your lawn size, the type of sod you choose, and the complexity of your yard. On average, sod installation ranges from $1 to $2 per square foot.
When Can You Walk on Sod After Installation?
After sod installation, it’s essential to give the grass time to establish its roots. We recommend waiting at least two weeks before walking on your new sod to avoid disrupting the root system.
How To Care for Sod After Installation?
Whether you opt for tiftuf bermuda, zenith zoysia, fescue, or another type of sod, proper care is crucial to ensure it thrives.
Here are some tips for your lawn maintenance plan:
Watering
Keep the sod consistently moist for the first 14-21 days. Water deeply, ensuring that the roots are fully hydrated.
Mowing
Wait until the grass has established roots, typically after 3-4 weeks, before mowing.
Fertilizing
A slow-release fertilizer can be applied about 6 weeks after installation to support growth.
