About the Service

Sod Installation, Made for Your Yard

Sod gives you an instant lawn, no waiting for seed to grow and no bare soil to wash away. It is the perfect finishing touch for a new patio, pool or outdoor living space, and it is often done as the last phase of a project.

A beautiful lawn starts below the surface. We grade for drainage, prepare the soil, lay the sod tightly with staggered seams and give you a watering plan, because the first few weeks decide whether it roots in strongly.
