How long does sod installation take?

Most sod installations are completed in one day, depending on the size of your yard. Larger projects may take a little longer, but our team works efficiently to minimize disruption and get your new lawn installed as quickly as possible

How often should I water my new sod?

For the first two weeks, water daily to keep the sod moist and encourage root growth. After that, you can gradually reduce watering to 2–3 times per week, depending on weather conditions. Morning watering is best to prevent disease and ensure deep soil absorption.

What is sod, and why should I choose it over seeding?

Sod is pre-grown grass with an established root system, harvested in rolls and installed on prepared soil. Unlike seeding, which takes weeks or months to grow, sod provides an instant, lush lawn with minimal wait time. It also helps prevent soil erosion, reduces weeds, and requires less maintenance during early establishment.

How soon can I walk on my new sod?

It’s best to wait at least 2–3 weeks before heavy use. While light walking is okay after the first few days, avoid foot traffic, mowing, and pets until the sod has rooted into the soil properly.

When can I mow my new sod?

Wait until the sod has rooted - usually around 2–3 weeks after installation. The first mow should be done with sharp mower blades at a higher setting to avoid stressing the new grass.

How long does sod take to fully establish?

Sod typically takes 2–4 weeks to develop strong roots. By 6–8 weeks, your lawn should be fully established and require standard lawn care, including regular mowing and seasonal maintenance.

Do you offer maintenance services after sod installation?

Yes! We offer ongoing lawn care services, including fertilization, mowing, and seasonal treatments, to keep your sod looking its best year-round. Ask about our maintenance packages when scheduling your installation!
