Sod installation in Winter Garden
The right grass for your sun and shade, laid tight on prepared ground, with a day-by-day watering schedule for the first two weeks.
What’s included
What a sod job includes
Sod that fails almost never fails because of the sod. It fails in the two weeks after it’s laid.
- Old turf and roots removed and hauled away
- Grade corrected so water runs away from the house
- Fresh sod matched to your sun and shade
- A written watering schedule for the first 14 days

How we do it
How we make new sod take
Ground prep decides it
Sod laid on compacted ground sits there like carpet and dies in three weeks. We loosen the soil so the roots can get in.
The right grass for the light
St. Augustine handles shade best, Bahia wants full sun and less water, Zoysia sits between. Sun grass under an oak fails slowly.
The fourteen days that matter
The watering schedule goes on your phone, day by day. We’ll also tell you when patching is enough and a full re-sod isn’t needed.

Questions
Sod installation questions
My new sod died. Was it bad sod?
Almost never. Sod fails in the two weeks after it’s laid, from watering or from ground that wasn’t prepared. That’s why the schedule goes on your card.
Which grass should I choose?
Floratam St. Augustine for full sun, a shade-tolerant St. Augustine under trees, Zoysia for a finer look, and Bahia for large, low-care areas. We recommend by the light at the walkthrough.
When is the best time to lay sod?
Spring and early summer, when it roots fastest. Rainy season works too with the right watering. Winter sod roots slowly and needs patience.
Can you patch just the dead areas?
Often, yes. If the rest of the lawn is healthy, patching is cheaper and we’ll say so.
