Sod Installation & Lawn Renovation
Get the lush, green lawn you want with professional sod installation or complete lawn renovation.
Instant Lawn, Lasting Results
Sometimes your lawn needs more than maintenance. Whether you're starting with bare dirt on a new construction site, dealing with a lawn that's more weeds than grass, or just want to upgrade to a better grass variety, sod installation gives you instant results that last.
In Florin, CA, we install sod year-round, though spring and fall offer ideal conditions. We work with premium sod farms to source grass varieties that thrive in our climate. You'll have a thick, green lawn ready to enjoy in just a few weeks, not the months it takes when seeding.
Professional Sod Installation
The key to long-lasting sod is proper preparation and installation. We don't just lay sod on top of existing ground. We prepare the soil, grade for proper drainage, and ensure good soil-to-sod contact so roots establish quickly.
Our sod installation service includes:
- Complete soil preparation and grading
- Removal of existing grass, weeds, or debris
- Soil amendments and fertilization
- Premium sod selection for our climate
- Professional installation with tight seams
- Initial watering and establishment care
- Post-installation care instructions
- Warranty on materials and installation
Choosing the Right Sod
Not all grass is the same. We'll help you choose between options like fescue for shade tolerance, bermuda for sun and drought resistance, or hybrid varieties that balance different needs. The right choice depends on sun exposure, how you use your yard, and how much maintenance you want to do.
Complete Lawn Renovation
If your lawn has bare patches, uneven areas, drainage problems, or it's just worn out from years of use, renovation might be the answer. We can transform your existing lawn without starting completely over.
Lawn renovation might include overseeding thin areas, leveling low spots, improving soil quality, fixing drainage issues, and establishing better lawn care practices. We'll assess your current lawn and recommend the most cost-effective approach. Many clients pair sod installation with new irrigation systems to ensure their investment stays healthy, or combine it with landscape design for a complete outdoor transformation.
The Installation Process
Most residential sod installations take 1-2 days. We start by removing old grass and preparing the soil. We'll grade for proper drainage, add amendments if needed, and create a smooth, level surface. Then we install fresh sod, making sure seams are tight and edges are secure.
The most critical period is the first 2-3 weeks. We'll show you exactly how to water new sod to encourage deep root growth. With proper care, your new lawn will be fully established in about a month, ready for regular mowing and normal use.
