How do I prepare my lawn for sod installation?

To ensure a successful lawn transformation with Superior Hydroseeding's sod installation services, proper lawn preparation is key. The first step is to clear the area where the sod will be installed. Remove any existing grass, weeds, rocks, and debris to create a smooth, clean surface. This can be done using a sod cutter or by hand for smaller areas.

Next, evaluate the soil quality. If the soil is compacted or has poor drainage, aerating or tilling may be necessary to loosen it up. This promotes better root growth and ensures that the sod will establish quickly. Adding a layer of nutrient-rich topsoil can also enhance the soil's ability to support new sod.

Level the soil to avoid any uneven spots, which can cause poor drainage or pooling water. Make sure the surface is smooth and properly graded to allow water to flow away from structures like your house.

Finally, apply a starter fertilizer to help nourish the sod during its initial growth phase. Once the soil is properly prepared, Superior Hydroseeding will expertly lay the sod to ensure optimal root contact and growth.

Proper preparation is crucial to ensuring the longevity and beauty of your new lawn through our sod installation services.
