What's Included
When you choose installation (not just curbside delivery), we handle every step from arrival to the final roll. The sod arrives cut fresh that morning and goes in the ground the same day — sod that sits on a pallet for hours loses viability fast, so we move quickly.
Fresh-Cut Delivery
Sod is cut to order and delivered to your property on installation day — not pallets that have been sitting in a yard.
Professional Laying
Sod is laid in a staggered, brick-pattern layout. Seams are butted tight — not overlapping or gapped — to minimize visible lines and help the lawn grow in uniformly.
Rolling for Root Contact
Once laid, the sod is rolled to eliminate air pockets and ensure firm contact with the soil below — critical for root establishment in Jacksonville's sandy ground.
Care Instructions
We walk you through the first two weeks of watering — the make-or-break period for new sod. Our new sod care guide covers the full schedule.
Your Responsibility Before We Arrive
Installation goes in on the same day your sod arrives. Your soil needs to be ready when we get there — these are the steps to complete beforehand:
Remove dead grass and debris. Old sod, weeds, and thatch should be killed with herbicide and removed before installation day.
Grade for drainage. The ground should slope away from structures so water doesn't pool under new sod. Level any major low spots.
Loosen the top 2–3 inches of soil. Jacksonville's sandy soil drains fast — light tilling or raking improves root penetration in the first critical weeks.
Clear access to the yard. Gates open, obstacles removed. Sod pallets are heavy and need a clear path from the delivery vehicle to the installation area.
Water the soil the day before. Moist — not saturated — soil is best for new sod rooting. Dry sand pulls moisture from sod roots too quickly.
Honest Comparison
Professional Installation Works Best When..
Your project is 2,000 sq ft or larger — laying sod is physically demanding and sod dies within hours of cutting if not installed immediately
You've had sod fail before — improper rolling or soil contact is the #1 cause of new sod failure, not the sod itself
You're on a deadline — new construction, HOA inspection, an event — and can't risk a second attempt
Your yard has slopes, curves, or irregular shapes where cutting and fitting sod requires experience
Curbside Delivery Works Well When..
Your project is small — a few pallets in a flat, rectangular backyard with cleared soil
You have an experienced landscaping crew that works with sod regularly and will install same-day
You're confident in your ground prep and have the crew, tools, and time to complete the install in one day
You want to maximize control over the process and have laid sod successfully before
