SOD Installation
Full Sod Installation
Georgia summers can be tough on lawns. Sod for your property is a great solution for yards. Installing sod is a great alternative to seeding and can turn a rough landscape into a brand-new lawn in as little as one day.
Sod Varieties:
Bermuda – Warm season turf that thrives in full sun that goes dormant during the colder months. Bermuda grass is very drought and disease tolerant. We recommend installing bermuda sod in high traffic full sun areas because it recovers quickly from damage. This is one of the more economical choices when looking at sod installation.


Zoysia – Warm season turf that does well in both full sun and part shade but, goes dormant during the colder months. Zoysia is considered to be an upscale grass. There are many fine and wide blade varieties that offer different pros and cons. If you have the right environment for it, we will always recommend a variety of Zoysia as it will always add the most value to your landscape and is a great turf choice.
Fescue – Fescue is a cold season grass and Is a southern version of what many consider to be the “Classic American Lawn.” Fescue requires more water, care, and maintenance than other grasses in Georgia, but in return, it offers a green lawn year-round with the proper care. Fescue is a great choice for shady areas (it can easily survive in areas with 4 hours of sunlight or longer periods of filtered shade).
The Process
The prep work is heavily dependent on factors such as site condition, access, and what type of grass is being taken out compared to what variety of sod is being installed. Obstacles like underground utilities, sprinkler systems, steep hillsides, and fence gates can prevent large equipment from being used for sod installation. The ultimate goal will be to amend the soil and fine grade the yard before the sod is laid. Once the sod is laid it is your job to water, water, and water some more.
