Sod Installation in Fairview
Sod gives you a finished lawn in an afternoon, but whether it lives comes down to what happens under it. The newer lots on the edge of Fairview are the usual sod jobs, where construction left compacted clay and thin builder topsoil, and laying fresh sod straight onto hardpan is how you get a green carpet that browns out the first dry week because the roots never knit into the ground.
So we start below the surface. We strip what needs to go, loosen the compacted clay, grade for drainage away from the house, and work in quality soil to give the roots something to grow into.
Laid Tight, Rolled, and Watered Right
We lay the sod in a staggered pattern with the seams butted tight so they knit instead of drying out at the edges, then roll it to press the roots into firm contact with the soil. After that the watering plan is everything: heavy and frequent for the first two weeks while the roots reach down, then tapering off as the lawn establishes. We walk you through that schedule so the investment takes hold.
A new sod lawn is ready for a fertilization program once it roots, and many sod jobs go in right after landscape design reshapes the yard. The full process is on our sod installation page, with all our Fairview services at Fairview.
