Sod Lawn Installation
Our Sod Installation Process
During a professional sod installation, we lay down new grass on your lawn, and the process is similar to laying out a carpet in your home. Here’s an overview of the process:
Soil Analysis & Preparation
First, we will analyze the soil to ensure it is rich and prepared for a new sod installation. Our experts will remove old grass and weeds from the surface. We will grade the soil so that it drains well and then prepare it by adding whatever nutrients its foundation is lacking.
We will suggest marginal plants and bespoke custom walls to keep the sod intact if erosion is an issue. We will also add several inches of topsoil. Then, our sod installation experts will add a slow-release, low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus fertilizer to the soil to encourage root growth. We will then rake the soil.
Sod Installation
After meticulously preparing the soil, we will use the best industry practices to carefully install the sod. The sod that we use is drought and heat resistant. Our experts will roll it out over the soil and then add water and fertilizer to it if required. We will make sure to lay it out in a staggered pattern to keep it from slipping or moving.
The edges will be placed close to one another, but we will not overlap them. We will also ensure that each curve and border is edged pristinely to align with the patio, pavers, and plantings. We will water it to keep it from drying out if you’re getting it installed during the summer.
Compelling Benefits of Sod Installation
Here are some undeniable benefits of choosing sod installation in Nassau County:
Instant Lawn
A sod installation will give you an instant lawn in the shape you desire. Your landscape will look and feel more lively, bright, and complete.
Flexibility
You can hire us to install sod anytime during the growing seasons as long as it’s not incredibly hot. Moreover, we can design the grass in any size and shape you desire to complete the look of your unique landscape.
Quick Establishment of Root Systems
Sod roots hardly take 2 to 3 weeks to become established in the ground. Once the sod has taken root, you can allow normal foot traffic on it, which means that your kids, guests, and pets can walk and play on it like regular grass.
Keeps Erosion at Bay
The new sod grass will quickly prevent new erosion issues and slow down established problems right after its installation.

Caring for Fresh Sod
Here’s what you can do to keep your sod fresh and green after installation:
Appropriate Watering
Most sod lawns require about an inch of water a week. However, the amount of water you use will depend on the size of your lawn. It might also need more water based on your location, sunlight exposure, and other factors. As a rule of thumb, don’t water the sod in the evening and never allow it to dry out during the first week. Then you can water the lawn twice a day during the second week to keep it from drying out.
Trim the Grass
You can trim and mow the grass after about the second or third week or when the sod has taken root. Relatively shorter grass will have grass clippings that will act as natural fertilizers.
Avoid Foot Traffic
Avoid playing, walking, or sitting on the newly installed sod for about two weeks or until it takes root.
Fertilize
Fertilize the new sod around six weeks after installation and then annually to ensure optimal care and maintenance. We can guide you on the ideal fertilizers you can use to keep your sod lawn healthy and green.
