Sod Installation & Lawn Renovation
Get an instant, beautiful lawn with professional sod installation in Towson, MD.
Why Choose Sod Installation
Seeding a lawn takes months of waiting, watering, and hoping for good results. Weeds invade, birds eat the seeds, and rain washes them away. Even under ideal conditions, you still wait weeks for germination and months for a mature lawn. Sod gives you a thick, green, usable lawn in just days.
Sod is mature grass that has been grown on specialized farms and harvested with a thin layer of soil attached. When installed properly, it establishes quickly, resists weeds, and provides instant curb appeal. It is the fastest way to go from bare dirt to a beautiful lawn.
In Towson, MD, sod is ideal for new construction, repairing damaged areas, or completely renovating a failing lawn. We install high-quality sod that is suited to our local climate and soil conditions. If you are also planning landscape design work, we can coordinate sod installation with your overall project.
Our Sod Installation Process
Installing sod is more than just rolling out grass. Proper preparation and care are critical to long-term success. Here is what our process looks like:
- Remove old grass, weeds, and debris from the site
- Grade and level the soil for proper drainage
- Amend soil with compost or topsoil if needed
- Install fresh sod with tight seams and proper orientation
- Roll and water the sod to eliminate air pockets
- Provide detailed care instructions for the first few weeks
We source our sod from reputable growers who specialize in turf varieties that thrive in Maryland. You will get thick, healthy grass that establishes quickly and looks great for years. Most sod installations are completed in one day, and your lawn is ready for light use within two weeks.
Lawn Renovation Services
Not every lawn needs full sod installation. Sometimes renovation is the better option. Lawn renovation involves restoring a damaged or declining lawn through a combination of techniques like overseeding, aeration, topdressing, and fertilization.
When to Renovate Instead of Replace
Renovation works best if your lawn is patchy but still has healthy grass in some areas. If more than 50 percent of your lawn is bare dirt, weeds, or dead grass, full sod installation may be more cost-effective. We assess your lawn and recommend the best approach.
What Renovation Includes
We start by aerating the soil to relieve compaction and improve root growth. Then we overseed with premium grass seed suited to your conditions. We may also apply compost topdressing to improve soil quality and help seeds germinate. Finally, we fertilize and set up a watering schedule to ensure success.
Renovation takes longer than sod installation, but it costs less and can produce excellent results. If you also need regular lawn care services or irrigation system installation, we can combine services for a complete lawn transformation.
Caring for New Sod
New sod needs consistent moisture for the first two weeks to establish strong roots. We provide detailed watering instructions and can set up temporary irrigation if needed. After the first two weeks, you can gradually reduce watering and start mowing.
Avoid heavy foot traffic on new sod for at least three weeks. This gives the roots time to anchor into the soil. Once established, your sod lawn will be just as durable as a seeded lawn, but you get the benefits months sooner.
We also offer ongoing lawn care to keep your new sod looking its best. From mowing and fertilization to weed control and aeration, we handle everything so you can enjoy your beautiful lawn without the work.
