Sod Lawn Installation

Sodding Excellence: Elevate Your Landscape with Our Premium Sod Installation

When it comes to installing a sod lawn, it’s not just about putting in some effort. It’s an investment that requires careful consideration of various factors for success. At our company, we prioritize keeping you informed throughout the process, from start to finish. Once our team of experts arrives at your property, we follow these preparation steps:

Removal and Disposal of Existing Grass/Lawn

We utilize specialized equipment, such as a commercial-grade sod cutter, to efficiently trim or cut and remove the existing grass. This machine features a blade that peels off up to 3 inches of sod, ensuring thorough removal and disposal.

Addition of Topsoil and Leveling

Creating an optimal environment for the new sod is crucial. We add a layer of healthy topsoil, providing a nourishing bed for the grass to root in. It is also important to ensure proper land slope to prevent water puddling after rainfall.

Rolling the Area and Final Leveling

To promote solid contact between the sod and soil, we utilize a sod roller. This heavy drum, filled with water, is rolled across the lawn using a handle. It aids in achieving proper contact and leveling.

Sod Installation

We carefully lay down fresh sod, delivered on the same day as the installation project. After the sod is in place, we roll the area once more to eliminate air pockets beneath the sod strips and firmly press the roots into the soil. This step is crucial to prevent drying of the root system and the formation of dead spots on the surface.

Watering the New Lawn

Watering is vital for the health of your new lawn. We provide you with a comprehensive guide on how to care for your freshly sodded lawn, including a watering schedule to ensure optimal growth and establishment.

Post-Installation Cleanup

We take pride in leaving your property clean and tidy. After the sod installation is complete, we will dispose of all post-installation materials and garbage. Disposal is included in the sodding cost, so you can enjoy your new lawn without any additional hassle.

Guidance on New Sod Care

We provide detailed instructions on how to properly care for your newly sodded lawn. Our experts will explain the necessary steps and offer guidance to ensure your lawn thrives and remains healthy in the long term.

Post-Installation Sod Care

Lush and Green: Our Expert Sodding Services for a Vibrant Lawn

Fresh sod demands a different maintenance approach compared to a regular lawn. Here are some guidelines for taking care of your newly installed sod to ensure a healthy and vibrant lawn, especially for Cool Season turfgrasses like Kentucky Bluegrass:

Minimize Traffic

Proper Watering

Adequate watering is the most important step in maintaining a new sod lawn. Without sufficient hydration, the grass will wilt, roots will dry out, the grass may turn brown, and the sod strips can shrink due to moisture loss. Follow these watering recommendations:
Water the sod twice a day for the first 2 weeks after installation.
In each area, water the lawn for 20 to 30 minutes, ensuring the water penetrates a few inches into the soil beneath the sod.
Lift back a corner of the sod in multiple places across the lawn to check for water penetration.
During the first 2-3 weeks, ensure the bottom of the sod remains consistently moist.
Be cautious of over-watering and watch for standing water in flat areas.
Monitor the new sod for signs of dryness and use a hose to water areas that your sprinklers don’t reach. Pay extra attention to edges and sod seams, as they are more susceptible to drying out and require more water.
If you notice large gaps between the sod rolls and yellowing edges, it indicates the sod is shrinking, and you should increase watering. The edges of the turf touching concrete need more frequent watering as concrete tends to draw moisture out of the sod.

Watering Schedule

Once the roots are established, and you have mowed the lawn for the first time

Once the roots are established, and you have mowed the lawn for the first time, you can shift to daily watering in the early morning. Avoid watering the grass late in the evening or at night, especially in high humidity, as this can lead to prolonged moisture and create conditions for lawn diseases. When watering a new or mature lawn, irrigate from early to late morning, allowing the soil to dry out before evening.

Weed Control

Weeds are challenging to eliminate once they have spread, and it’s unrealistic to expect…

Mowing Guidelines

Wait until the sod has rooted and the grass reaches a height of at least 3 inches (usually 2-3 weeks after installation) before mowing. Avoid removing more than one-third of the grass blade length to maintain healthy growth. Most grasses should be cut at a height of 2.5-3.5 inches, as longer blades enable the plant to store more energy in its roots. Longer grass blades promote deeper roots, which help the grass find more water and nutrients, resulting in overall healthier growth. Plan to mow the sod once a week throughout summer and fall. Regularly sharpen your mower blades to achieve a clean cut without tearing the blades, as torn blades are more susceptible to disease. Remove all clippings and avoid mowing wet grass.

Fertilizing Newly Installed Sod

Wait at least 4 weeks after installing the sod before applying…

Aeration

It’s important to wait until the roots of your new lawn are fully established before aerating…

By following these guidelines, you can ensure the proper care and maintenance of your new sod, resulting in a thick, healthy, and beautiful lawn. Sod installation is an investment, and proper care and maintenance are crucial for long-term success. To ensure your sod becomes fully established and maintains its beauty for years to come, consider utilizing the lawn maintenance services provided by MPR Landscapes. Their expertise will help you maintain a thriving and visually appealing lawn.
