Removal of existing grass and weeds
Tend to the soil if necessary
Grade the soil to ensure it is level and can adequately drain
Install your new sod utilizing eco-friendly practices
Set up the irrigation and sprinkler system for proper hydration

Benefits of Sod Installation

When you want a gorgeous green yard, sod installation is a perfect choice. The most significant benefits of sod installation include the following:

Since sod is already established, rooting into your existing yard will only take a few weeks.
Sod installation grows better in shaded areas where grass seeds will not germinate.
Traditional seeding often leads to more weed growth than sod installation.
Unlike grass seed, sod does not wash away.

Caring for New Sod

Fresh sod needs maintenance to ensure it reaches its full potential. The first few weeks after sod installation is critical. It’s important to avoid mowing the new sod or playing a game of front-yard football on it. Other important things to remember when caring for your new sod include:

Week One

Water the sod before sundown.
Do not overwater the sod, or it will dry out.
Refrain from walking on your new sod for two weeks.

Week Two

You should water your sod for 30 minutes daily.

Week Three & On

You can mow your lawn three weeks after sod installation, remembering to keep the mower deck high.
Fertilize your new sod six weeks after installation.
