Sod is the upper layer of turf grass that is used for transplanting to establish a lawn. It has become a popular alternative to seeding lawns because of its convenience and cost-effectiveness. Our sod installation solutions include many benefits, such as:
- Instant lawn: There’s no need to wait for seeds to germinate and grass to grow.
- Preventing soil erosion: Adding sod to your landscape will reduce rainwater run-off and stabilize your soil.
- Weed suppression: Once sod is established, it develops a thick network of roots that prevent weeds from taking hold.
- Reduced water use: Once installed, sod requires less irrigation than a seeded lawn.
- Denser lawn: When sod is laid professionally, you will get a thicker and more hardy lawn.
Mulch Installation
Mulching is one of the simplest yet most effective practices to benefit your landscape. A mulch is a layer of organic or non-organic material applied to the soil's surface. Types of mulch include pine straw, bark chips, stones, wood shavings, and cocoa hulls. Our mulch installation has many benefits, including:
- Retaining moisture: Applying mulch to your landscape will slow down the evaporation of water from the soil, keeping your plants and trees from drying out.
- Preventing weeds: A thick layer of mulch can prevent weeds from pushing through to the light of day.
- Regulating soil temperature: A mulch installation can help hold warmth in the soil, protecting the roots of your plants during the colder seasons.
- Boosting soil nutrition: Adding organic matter to your soil can increase nutrients such as iron, calcium, nitrogen, and potassium.
- Increasing curb appeal: Mulch gives your landscape a more balanced and aesthetic appearance.
