What Is Sod Installation?

Sod installation is the process of laying down pre-grown grass turf onto an area of soil in order to create an instant lawn. The process typically involves preparing the soil by removing any debris, rocks, or weeds, leveling the ground, and then laying down the strips of pre-grown grass turf.

Once the sod is installed, it needs to be watered regularly and kept moist in order for the roots to take hold and grow into the soil. Sod installation is a great option if you're looking to quickly establish a lush, green lawn without having to wait for seeds to grow.

The Benefits of Sod Installation Over Seeding

Sod installation is an excellent choice for those looking for a fast, reliable way to achieve a lush and healthy lawn. Compared to seeding, sod offers several key benefits that make it a popular option.

Some of the benefits of sodding over seeding include:

Instant Gratification. First, sod installation provides instant gratification. While seeding requires patience as the grass gradually grows from seed, sod installation gives you a fully-grown lawn in just a matter of hours. This means you can enjoy your new lawn right away, without having to wait weeks or even months for it to grow.
Uniform & Consistent Lawn. Second, sod offers uniformity and consistency. Unlike seeding, where you may end up with patches of different grass species or bare spots, sod provides a uniform and consistent look. This creates a more aesthetically pleasing lawn that looks great from every angle.
Prevents Soil Erosion. Third, sod helps to prevent soil erosion. The dense root system of sod holds the soil in place and helps to prevent runoff, which can be a problem with newly seeded lawns. This makes sod an excellent choice for sloped areas.

Sod installation offers many advantages over growing grass from scratch. If you're looking for a fast and reliable way to achieve a lush and healthy lawn, consider sod installation as your solution.

Sod Installation Frequently Asked Questions

Is it okay to lay sod over existing grass?

Laying sod directly on existing grass is a shortcut that creates long-term problems. New sod needs direct contact with soil for healthy roots, but existing grass acts as a barrier. It leads to weak growth, moisture and nutrient issues, and a higher risk of disease under the sod. For a healthy, long-lasting lawn, removing existing grass allows for proper sod preparation and installation.

How to maintain newly installed sod?

Fresh sod needs special attention to establish healthy roots and become a beautiful, permanent lawn. Here's what you need to know:

Watering is Key. Don't overwater, but never let the sod dry out. Frequent, short watering sessions (three to four times a day for five to ten minutes) in the first week are crucial. Avoid evening watering to prevent fungus.
Minimize Foot Traffic. Resist the urge to walk on your new lawn for at least two weeks. Give those roots time to take hold!
Gradual Mowing. After three weeks, mow with the highest setting, removing no more than 1/3 of the grass blade length.
Fertilize for Success. Six weeks after installation, give your new lawn a boost with fertilizer.
Ongoing Care. We offer lawn maintenance services to help your sod flourish for years to come. Get in touch with us to learn more!
