Soil Upgrades for Optimal Sod Growth
Before we lay down your new sod, it’s essential to prepare the soil properly to ensure optimal root growth and long-term lawn health. We offer several pre-soil upgrades that can improve your soil structure, fertility, and overall lawn performance:
Compost
- Benefits: Compost is rich in organic matter, providing vital nutrients that help your sod establish healthy roots. It improves soil structure, enhances moisture retention, and boosts microbial activity.
- Ideal For: Soil that is lacking in organic matter or requires better nutrient content and aeration.
Contractor’s Mix (Soil Blend)
- Benefits: This specially formulated mix combines sand, topsoil, and organic matter to create an ideal base for your sod. It provides excellent drainage while still maintaining moisture retention, helping the sod roots take hold easily.
- Ideal For: Lawns with compacted or heavy clay soil that require better drainage and structure for root growth.
Ideal Timing for Sod Installation
Best Time
Spring (March–May)
This is one of the best times to install sod, especially for cool-season grasses like Fescue. The mild temperatures and consistent rainfall help sod establish roots quickly.
Fall (September–November)
Fall is another ideal season for sod installation, as cooler temperatures and less intense sun reduce stress on the newly laid sod. This is particularly great for warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia.
Caution
Avoid
Summer (June-August)
While it’s possible to install sod in summer, the intense heat can stress the new sod and slow down the rooting process. If you must install during this season, ensure proper watering and care.
Winter (December-Febuary)
Installing sod in winter is not recommended due to cold temperatures and the dormant state of the grass. It’s best to wait until spring or fall for optimal results.
Site Evaluation
We begin by assessing your lawn’s current condition. Our team identifies any issues such as uneven terrain, soil problems, or areas that need special attention to ensure a successful installation.
Sod Selection
We carefully choose the best sod variety for your specific soil type, climate, and grass preference. Whether it’s Bermuda for sun-soaked areas or Fescue for cooler climates, we provide sod that suits your lawn’s needs.
Soil Preparation
Proper soil preparation is essential for sod to root connection. We clear debris, level the surface, and amend the soil as needed, ensuring the ground is ready for a healthy lawn. This can include adding soil conditioners based on your soil’s needs.
Installation

Sod Installation: Frequently Asked Questions
Sod installation involves laying pre-grown grass onto your lawn to establish an instant lawn. It is an efficient way to get a new lawn quickly, compared to seeding, and provides an instant green, lush appearance.
The best time to install sod is in the cooler months of spring or fall when the weather is mild. However, it can be installed year-round in most climates, as long as you take care to water it properly until the roots are established.
It typically takes 2-3 weeks for sod to establish roots. During this time, you should water it frequently to ensure it gets the moisture it needs to take root. Avoid heavy foot traffic until the sod is fully rooted.
Yes, preparing the soil is important. The soil should be cleared of any debris, weeds, or old grass. You may also need to till the soil and add soil amendments to ensure proper drainage and root establishment for the sod.
After installation, keep the sod well-watered for the first few weeks to help the roots establish. Avoid heavy traffic on the lawn and continue watering deeply but infrequently. Once the sod is rooted, reduce watering frequency and treat it like a normal lawn.
