What's Involved

A real lawn, not a patchy one

Sod gives you an instant, finished lawn. Seed costs less and fills in over a season. We'll tell you honestly which one fits your budget and timeline — then prep the soil properly, because soil prep is the part that actually decides whether it takes.

  • Sod installation for instant results
  • Seeding for larger or budget‑conscious areas
  • Grading, topsoil, and soil preparation
  • Drainage correction and low‑spot repair
  • Watering and establishment guidance

Our Approach

How we do it right

Soil prep is the whole game

Laying sod over compacted clay is how you get a lawn that dies in August. Grading, topsoil, and loosening the base come first.

Fix the low spots first

If water pools in the yard, no grass will fix it. We regrade and correct drainage before any seed or sod goes down.

Then it's about water

A new lawn lives or dies in the first three weeks. We'll give you a straight watering schedule — and it matters more than anything else you do.

Common Questions

Lawn Installation — the questions we get

Sod or seed — which should I pick?

Sod if you want it finished now, you're fighting erosion, or it's a small visible area. Seed if the area is large and you can wait a season and keep it watered. Sod costs more up front; seed costs more patience.

How soon can I walk on new sod?

Lightly, after about two weeks — but keep real traffic and pets off it for the first month while it roots down. Pulling up a corner to check is the usual test.

Why did my last lawn fail?

Nine times out of ten it's compaction, drainage, or watering — not the grass. That's why we spend the money on soil prep instead of just rolling sod over whatever's there.
