Sod Installation in Dallas, GA
Sod is the fastest way from bare dirt to a finished lawn. In Dallas it usually follows construction, a tree removal or a yard that has thinned out past fixing.
The prep is part of the job — old turf out, low spots filled, topsoil where the soil is poor.
Where sod makes the most sense
Front yards, areas around a patio or walkway, and slopes that need to stop moving are the strongest cases. Sod holds soil the day it is laid.
For large open areas, hydroseeding usually costs less and gets there in a season. We will tell you which we would use where.
The first month
New sod lives or dies on water. Frequent watering while it roots, then tapering off, is the routine — and irrigation is worth pricing at the same time if keeping up by hand is not realistic.
