Tired of waiting for patchy grass seed to fill in? Want a lawn that looks great right away? Sod installation is the fastest and most effective way to achieve a thick, green, and healthy lawn—without the long wait or the risk of failed seed growth.

At Unlimited Landscaping, we provide professional sod installation services that give homeowners the instant transformation they’re looking for. Here’s everything you need to know about how sod works and why it might be the perfect solution for your yard.

What Is Sod?

Sod is mature grass that’s grown and harvested with its roots intact. It’s delivered in rolls and installed over prepared soil to create a new lawn instantly. Unlike grass seed, sod gives you full coverage on day one.

Top Benefits of Sod Installation

✅ Instant Results

No more bare patches or muddy areas—sod installation gives you a lush green lawn from the moment it's laid.

✅ Erosion Control

Sod helps prevent soil erosion by anchoring the top layer of soil in place, especially on sloped or uneven ground.

✅ Weed Prevention

Because sod comes densely packed with mature grass, it helps block weeds from taking root.

✅ Quick Root Establishment

With proper watering and care, your sod will take root in just a few weeks and become fully integrated with your soil.

When Is the Best Time to Install Sod?

While sod installation can be done almost any time of year, spring and fall are ideal due to moderate temperatures and consistent rainfall. Our team at Unlimited Landscaping helps you pick the right time for your location and lawn goals.

What to Expect During Sod Installation

1. Site prep – We remove weeds, debris, and old grass, then level and grade the soil for proper drainage.
2. Soil improvement – We amend the soil with compost or fertilizer to promote root growth.
3. Sod delivery and installation – We lay fresh sod in a staggered pattern for seamless coverage.
4. Watering and rolling – Sod is watered immediately and rolled to ensure contact with the soil.
5. Post-installation care – We provide watering and maintenance instructions to ensure success.

Sod Maintenance Tips

• Water deeply for the first 2 weeks (daily), then reduce frequency as roots establish.
• Avoid mowing until the sod has firmly rooted (usually 2–3 weeks).
• Fertilize 4–6 weeks after installation for healthy growth.
• Limit traffic during the first few weeks to prevent shifting or damage.
