Sod Installation in Atlanta

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does sod installation involve?

  We bring pre-grown grass in rolls or strips and install it on prepared soil so you get a full lawn right away. We prep the site, lay and roll the sod, then give you simple aftercare steps.

• Why choose sod instead of seed?

  Sod gives you an instant lawn, fewer weeds early on, and you can use it sooner. Seed takes longer to fill in and needs more attention at first.

• How do I pick the right sod for my yard?

  We help you decide based on sun, shade, foot traffic, and how you plan to use the space. We offer Tif Tuf Bermuda, Zeon Zoysia, and Elite Tall Fescue to match different sites.

• What steps are included in sod installation?

  We handle soil prep and drainage, grade as needed, lay and roll the sod for good contact, then clean up and walk you through watering and care.

• How long until new sod takes root?

  With proper watering, roots usually start to anchor in a couple of weeks. Full establishment is often within a few weeks to a couple of months.

• When can I use the lawn after installation?

  Light use is usually fine after a week or two once roots are taking hold. We'll give you specific guidance for your sod and site.

• How often should I water new sod?

  New sod needs regular, light watering at first so it doesn't dry out. We'll give you a simple watering schedule and adjust for your soil and weather.

• What upkeep does the lawn need after sod is installed?

  Routine mowing, watering as needed, and occasional fertilizing. We'll provide a short aftercare guide so you know what to do and when.

• Can you install sod any time of year?

  We install when conditions are best for establishment—usually spring and fall in our area. We can talk timing when you get in touch.

• How long does a typical sod job take?

  Most residential jobs are finished in one to a few days depending on size. We'll give you a clearer timeline once we see your property.

• Is sod more expensive than seeding?

  Sod typically costs more upfront than seed but gives you an instant lawn and less follow-up work. We're happy to provide a free quote so you can compare.

• How do I get my yard ready for sod?

  We take care of soil prep, grading, and drainage as part of the job. If you have existing grass or debris, we can discuss removal and prep when you contact us.

• What sod works well in shady spots?

  Shade-tolerant types like some tall fescues do better with limited sun. We'll suggest varieties that match your light conditions.

• How does sod help with erosion?

  Sod covers the ground quickly with living roots that hold soil in place, helping reduce erosion on slopes and bare areas.

• What should I look for in a sod installer?

  Look for experience, a clear process, quality sod options, and good communication. We're happy to explain our process and share references.
