Sod Installation Process
- The Walk Through
Grading is finished, soil is prepared, and the sod is here! Before we start laying your sod we like to use landscape paint to design your curves and borders. Here we also will test your irrigation to ensure that we haven’t damaged any lines or heads during the grading process. If any damage is found we will fix it immediately for no charge.
2. Removal & Preparation
Let’s get to work! All yards are prepared with our industry leading Cultivator Machine. Larger Yards & Athletic Fields will require larger equipment specific to the job. Soil Preparation and Grading is the most important step and we have perfected it! Here we will add lime and any top soil or amendments specific to your job.
3. Fresh Sod Supplied
Since most of our projects are “turn-key” and completed in one day we have already scheduled your sod delivery. Every order is cut fresh from the farm the evening prior to the installation and shipped directly to your site. Having your Sod Supplied & Installed by one company is the key to a stress free project!
4. Mark Curves & Test Irrigation
Grading is finished, soil is prepared, and the sod is here! Before we start laying your sod we like to use landscape paint to design your curves and borders. Here we also will test your irrigation to ensure that we haven’t damaged any lines or heads during the grading process. If any damage is found we will fix it immediately for no charge.
5. Installation of Sod
This is our favorite part! Our crews install anywhere from 10-60 pallets a day. We always place the sod pieces tight against each other in a checker board pattern. Larger installations will use mega rolls. Once the sod is laid, each yard is rolled with our weighted lawn roller. This ensures all air pockets and pushed out and the sod adheres to the soil.
6. Site Cleanup & Final Walkthrough
Towards the end of the job we encourage our clients to do a final walk through to verify the job and details to ensure the end result is up to expectation. At this point we will hand you a two page document with sod care tips and recommendations on which company to use for your ongoing chemical treatments. The end result is a beautiful lawn to be enjoyed for years to come!
