Site Evaluation & Planning
Before installation begins, we carefully evaluate your property’s soil condition, drainage patterns, sun exposure, and overall grading. This allows us to recommend the most suitable sod variety and create a tailored installation plan th
Old Lawn Removal
We thoroughly remove existing grass, weeds, roots, rocks, and construction debris to provide a clean and stable foundation. Proper removal prevents future weed competition and ensures the new sod can establish strong, uninterrupted root growth.
Soil Preparation & Grading
Proper grading is essential for a successful lawn. We level and shape the surface to promote effective water drainage, eliminate low spots, and create a smooth, even base. This step helps prevent standing water and future lawn damage.
Soil Conditioning & Amendment
Healthy lawns begin with healthy soil. We improve soil structure by adding nutrient-rich amendments when needed, enhancing root penetration, moisture retention, and long-term turf vitality.
Premium Sod Selection
We select high-quality sod varieties specifically suited to Northern Virginia’s climate and your property’s sun and shade conditions. Choosing the right turf type ensures durability, color consistency, and year-round performance.
Professional Sod Installation
Our team installs sod in a staggered brick pattern to minimize visible seams and create a seamless appearance. Each piece is tightly fitted to ensure proper alignment, stability, and a uniform, professional finish.
Lawn Rolling for Root Contact
After installation, we roll the entire lawn to improve soil-to-root contact. This critical step eliminates air pockets and encourages faster root establishment, helping your new lawn bond securely with the prepared soil.
Initial Deep Watering
Immediately after installation, we apply a deep, even watering to hydrate the sod and activate root development. Proper initial irrigation plays a key role in reducing transplant stress and accelerating establishment.
Post-Installation Care Guidance
To protect your investment, we provide detailed care instructions including watering schedules, mowing timelines, and early maintenance recommendations. Following these guidelines ensures strong rooting and long-term lawn success.

Spring and fall are ideal, but sod can be installed during most of the growing season with proper care.
New sod requires frequent watering during the first two weeks to keep the soil consistently moist.
For best results, old grass should be removed to prevent uneven rooting and future lawn problems.
Typically after 2–3 weeks, once the sod has rooted firmly into the soil.
