“Insta” Lawn
Sod is the easiest & fastest way to grow a lush, beautiful lawn. Unlike seeding, which can take months or years to grow into a full lawn, sod takes as little as a few weeks of maintenance & monitoring once installed. When given the proper care, sod is almost always the perfect choice for your yard.
Plan, Plan, & Prepare!
Before you start enjoying all of the perks a turfgrass lawn can bring, your yard must be properly prepped and the sod promptly & correctly installed. Proper planning & yard prep is key to the grass establishing & remaining healthy. Although it is not always necessary to follow each step we will discuss, we strongly recommend that each action be taken to ensure your lawn is as healthy & low maintenance as possible.
Proper Groundwork is Crucial
Be advised that skipping some of the groundwork can result in poor soil health & a shallow root system, impacting disease & pest resistance. Further, shallow root development can cause slower sod establishment & growth, increase water needs, encourage weeds, and decrease overall hardiness. Using the correct soil blend, and adding/cultivating to the appropriate depth for your yard conditions, can reduce your water requirements by up to 20-40%!
