How long before new sod roots?

It typically begins rooting within a couple of weeks with consistent watering and knits in over the following weeks.

Can I sod part of the yard and seed the rest?

Yes, and on larger properties that is often the most sensible plan.

Do you handle grading first?

Yes, along with topsoil where the existing soil is poor.

How much water does it need?

Frequent watering early, tapering as it roots. Irrigation makes that easier in summer.

Do you install sod on slopes?

Yes — it holds soil immediately, which is why it suits banks.

Sodding the areas that count

On larger Calhoun properties it often makes sense to sod the yard near the house and hydroseed the rest. You get a finished look where it is seen and reasonable cost across the open ground.

We will lay out that split with you rather than quoting sod across ground that does not need it.

Prep and water

Old turf and debris come up, low spots get filled, and topsoil is added where the soil is thin. After installation, consistent water through the first weeks is what roots it in — irrigation can be quoted at the same time.
