Sod Installation vs. Resodding
Understanding the difference between sod installation and resodding is crucial:
Sod Installation:
Ideal for properties without an existing lawn, where fresh sod is laid directly onto prepared soil.
Resodding:
Involves removing the existing lawn before laying down new sod, ensuring a fresh start for your landscape.
Steps for Resodding a Lawn
Our resodding process is simple and efficient:
- Lawn Preparation: We remove the old lawn and prepare the soil for optimal sod growth.
- Topsoil Application: Fresh black earth topsoil is delivered and evenly spread across the prepared surface.
- Sod Installation: We carefully lay the sod on the prepped soil, ensuring tight, uniform placement for a seamless finish.
- Watering Schedule: To promote healthy root development, water the newly installed sod at least twice daily for a minimum of two weeks.
