Sod Installation in Trussville & the Birmingham Metro
New sod can transform a yard in a day, but it will only last if the ground beneath it is ready. We remove what needs to go, correct the grade, and improve compacted soil before the first roll goes down, so your lawn can root deeply.
Our Sod Installation Service
- Site Evaluation: We check the sun, grade, soil, and drainage before recommending a grass.
- Removal and Grading: Old turf and debris come out, and the surface is shaped to move water away.
- Soil Preparation: Compacted ground is loosened and amended where it needs it.
- Sod Installation: Tight seams and clean edges, laid to the finished grade.
- Watering Instructions: A clear plan for the critical first weeks.
Choosing the Right Grass
The best sod for your yard depends mostly on how much sun it gets and how much upkeep you want.
- Bermuda: A strong choice for full sun and heavy use.
- Zoysia: A dense lawn that handles sun and tolerates more shade than Bermuda.
- Fescue: Better suited to shadier yards, though it may need more summer attention.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does sod installation cost?
Cost depends on the size of the lawn, the type of grass, and how much removal, grading, and soil work is needed. We will look at the site and give you a free quote.
When is the best time to install sod in Alabama?
Warm-season sod like Bermuda and zoysia does best when it is actively growing, from spring through summer. Fall can work, but timing and watering matter more.
How often should I water new sod?
New sod needs frequent watering at first so the roots never dry out, then deeper, less frequent watering as it establishes. We give you specific instructions based on the season.
