Sod Benefits & Tips

If you are looking to establish a beautiful green, luscious lawn, Sod has a number benefits to transform your yard.

The advantage of using sod for your lawn include:

  • Immediate luscious and vibrant green results, opposed to waiting weeks for your lawn to establish using seed.
  • Sod can also minimize erosion, the mature roots of the sod aid in soil stabilization, provided a secure layer holding the ground in place.
  • Sod suppresses weed growth. Sod creates a dense ground cover, making it difficult for weeds to take root in the ground.
Tips to Lay Sod:
  • Layer at least 2" of clean topsoil to your desired area.
  • Rake & level the area, ensuring a slight slope away from any building or structures for proper drainage.
  • Install the sod in a staggered pattern (same day as sod is delivered or picked up)
  • Water the sod generously, so much so it squishes under your feet.
  • Continue to water the sod generously, twice daily until it takes root.
