We source fresh, locally-grown sod that's adapted to Long Island's climate. The grass arrives at your property the same day it's harvested, ensuring maximum viability and quick establishment. We typically use premium tall fescue or bluegrass blends depending on your site conditions and preferences.

How Sod Installation Works

The process starts with removing your existing lawn if necessary. We strip away dead grass, weeds, and debris down to clean soil. Then we till and grade the area, breaking up compacted soil and creating a smooth, level surface with proper pitch for drainage. This preparation is critical for long-term success.

We amend the soil with nutrients and organic matter to give your new grass the best possible growing conditions. Poor soil leads to a struggling lawn no matter how good the sod is, which is why we never skip this step. Once the soil is ready, we lay the sod carefully with tight seams and no gaps, starting along straight edges and working systematically across the area.

After installation, we roll the sod to ensure good soil contact and provide initial watering. We give you detailed care instructions for the establishment period, typically 2-3 weeks. After that, your lawn transitions to normal lawn care maintenance. Many clients add irrigation systems during sod installation for long-term watering ease.

Sod vs. Seeding: Making the Right Choice

Sod costs more than seeding but provides instant results. It's the right choice when you need a finished lawn quickly, have erosion concerns on slopes, or want to avoid the long wait and uncertainty of seed establishment. Sod also resists weed invasion better than newly seeded lawns because it's already mature and dense.

Seeding makes sense for large areas where budget is a primary concern, or when you're not in a hurry for results. Hydroseeding offers a middle ground, faster than traditional seeding but more affordable than sod for large areas.

We help you weigh the options based on your timeline, budget, and site conditions. Sometimes a combination approach works best, using sod in visible or high-use areas and seeding in less critical zones. The goal is getting you the best lawn within your budget and timeframe.
