What Does Professional Sod Installation Include?

A new lawn is only as good as the ground under it. That is why our sod installation covers the whole job, not just the part where the green rolls go down.

We tear out the old grass and weeds, haul it off, level and prep the soil, then lay fresh sod tight against your beds, walkways and driveway. Before we leave, we clean up so the only sign we were there is a new lawn.

How Long Does It Take to Install Sod?

Most of our sod installations are done in a single day. Our crew shows up with the people and the machines to tear out, prep and lay a full yard without dragging the project across a week.

A faster install means less time with a torn-up yard, less mess tracked into the house, and roots that start setting into fresh soil on the day the sod arrives.

Why Does Fresh Sod Matter?

Sod is alive, and it starts losing moisture the moment it is cut. Rolls that sit on a pallet for days arrive tired, yellow at the edges and slow to root.

We buy in bulk and bring sod straight from the farm to your yard, so it goes down green and ready to grow. Buying that way also keeps our prices competitive without cutting corners on the product.

Which Type of Sod Is Best for My Yard?

The right grass depends on your sun, shade, soil and how you use the yard. A shady lot under old oaks needs something different than a wide-open yard that bakes all afternoon.

Albert walks you through the options, the pros and cons of each, and what he recommends for your soil and our Gulf Coast climate, so you are not guessing when you pick a variety.

Yes. Along with homes, we lay sod for businesses, offices and other commercial properties. We have the crew size and the heavy equipment for big lawns, and we keep the work moving so your property looks finished fast.

Sod Installation FAQ

Do I need to be home during the sod installation?

Not for the whole day. We just need access to the yard and a quick walkthrough so we know what stays and what goes.

Can you lay new sod over my existing grass?

We remove the old grass first. Laying sod on top of dead grass and weeds keeps the new roots from reaching the soil.

Is the quote for sod installation free?

Yes. We quote based on your yard size and the work needed, with no hidden fees.

Do you haul away the old grass?

Yes. Cleanup and haul-off are part of the job, so you are left with a finished lawn and not a pile of old turf.
