Sod Installation

Professional Sod Installation in St. Louis

Whether replacing damaged turf or starting a new lawn, proper ground preparation and installation are essential for long-term growth and appearance.

Sod creates an instant finished appearance, reduces erosion, and establishes faster than seeding when properly maintained after installation.

Our Sod Installation Process

Existing grass, debris, and surface material are removed to prepare the area for installation.

1. Site Preparation

2. Soil Grading

The soil is leveled and adjusted to promote proper drainage and an even finished surface.

3. Sod Placement

Fresh sod is laid tightly and evenly to create full coverage.

4. Rolling and watering

The sod is rolled for soil contact and watered thoroughly after installation.
