Sod & Mulch FAQ

How do you prepare for sod installation?

Are you thinking of installing sod on your property? You’ll need to prepare your land so your sod will be able to grow successfully. The first step is to prepare your soil. Start by removing any lawn ornaments and removing debris, like sticks, leaves, and large rocks. You’ll then need to remove any existing vegetation, including grass growing on your lawn.

Next, make sure your land is even. If you have small divots or shallow areas, you may be able to fix them yourself by adding extra soil. If you have more significant unevenness, you may need to ask your landscaping company to grade and level your lawn.

It’s also a good idea to loosen the top few inches, as this will help the new roots of your sod more easily penetrate the soil. Use an aerator or just a shovel to turn over your soil.

Finally, add fertilizer to your soil if needed. You can purchase a soil testing kit at most home improvement or landscaping stores that will tell you whether your soil is too acidic or too basic. Your landscaper can also help with this process.

With these steps complete, your lawn will be ready for sod installation!

Why is sod installation good for my landscape?

Sod installation is also a good idea if you want to avoid soil erosion and if you’re worried about weeds outcompeting new grass seed.

A well-cared-for sod lawn will boost the aesthetic appeal of your home and may increase your property value. In a place like Greater Carrollwood, FL, which is known for its well-maintained homes, a sod lawn can help you feel a larger sense of pride in your property.
