What Are the Benefits of Installing Sod?

Installing sod provides a healthy and fresh look to your home while adding value to your property. It is an easy way to lay down new grass without using an overabundance of water you’d use for seeding scenarios. Consider the following benefits of allowing our sod installers to liven up your place:

Instant Lawn - Laying fresh sod gives you an instant lawn, unlike seeding, which can take several weeks or months to grow into an entire lawn.
Improved Appearance - Fresh sod gives your lawn an immediate and attractive appearance with its uniform, healthy, and dense grass coverage.
Reduced Soil Erosion - Sod helps reduce erosion by holding the soil in place, particularly on slopes and areas with heavy rainfall.
Reduced Weeds - Fresh sod prevents weed growth by choking out any potential weed seedlings, leaving you with a weed-free lawn.

What Is the Process of Sod Grass Installation?

When you schedule a sod grass installation appointment, it requires a particular type of care compared to a regular or existing lawn. To ensure your property receives the new sod well, follow these steps:

Week One – You should water your lawn three to four times daily for around five to 10 minutes. This will ensure you don’t overwater or let the sod dry out. Additional measures to note are to avoid watering the lawn in the evening and to stay away from walking on it for two weeks.
Week Two – Water the lawn twice daily for at least 30 minutes.
Week Three & Thereafter – After three weeks, you can mow the lawn and fertilize it six weeks after it is installed. It would be best to keep the mower deck high while only mowing about 1/3 the length of the grass blades.

The process to install sod is an investment, so caring for and maintaining your property correctly is crucial. Once we lay your new layer of grass, we offer lawn maintenance services to ensure your new addition develops a firm foundation and stays vibrant for years.
