Sod and Grass Installation

Instant lawns of fescue, bermuda or zoysia laid on well-prepared soil, with a clear watering plan to root them quickly.

Sod gives you a lawn in a day. Instead of waiting months for seed to fill in, you get a green, finished yard that can resist erosion and stop mud almost immediately. But sod only does well when the ground under it is right. In Nashville, compacted clay, builder fill and poor drainage are the usual reasons new sod fails. The preparation matters at least as much as the grass itself.

We start by grading and loosening the soil, adding topsoil or compost where needed and checking drainage so water does not pool. Then we lay fresh sod in staggered rows, trim it neatly to beds and walks and roll it for good contact with the soil. We help you choose between tall fescue for shade and a cool look, bermuda for sun and toughness, or zoysia for a dense, soft lawn. We also give you a watering schedule for the first weeks, which is the most important factor in rooting.

Questions

Sod Installation FAQ

How soon can I walk on new sod?

Light foot traffic after about two weeks, once roots have knit.

When is the best time to lay sod?

Fescue does well when laid in fall and spring, and bermuda and zoysia in late spring and summer.

How much water does new sod need?

Daily or more often at first, then less as roots establish.

Can you sod over my old lawn?

We usually remove the old turf first so the new sod can root properly.

Which grass is best for shade?

Tall fescue handles shade best, while bermuda needs full sun.
