St. Augustine Grass

Our Process

How we install your new lawn

Every sod installation follows a disciplined process to ensure your new grass establishes quickly and stays healthy long-term.

Site Assessment

We evaluate your soil, drainage, sun exposure, and existing turf condition to recommend the best grass variety and prep approach.

Old Turf Removal

Existing lawn is removed and the surface is graded for proper drainage, the most important step most DIYers skip.

Soil Prep & Grading

We amend the soil as needed and ensure the finished grade promotes water runoff away from structures and eliminates low spots.

Sod Installation

Fresh sod is laid in tight rows, rolled to ensure good soil contact, and thoroughly watered in. We handle delivery, installation, and first-day care instructions.

FAQ

Sod installation questions

What's the best time of year to install sod in Tampa Bay?

Sod can be installed year-round in Florida's climate. Spring and early summer installations benefit from warm soil and frequent rain. Summer heat can stress new sod if irrigation is insufficient, so extra watering is critical. Fall and winter installs establish more slowly but with less heat stress. Our team will advise on watering schedules for your installation timing.

How do I care for new sod after installation?

Water is the most important factor. New sod needs to be watered twice daily for the first two weeks, keeping it consistently moist. Reduce to once daily in weeks 3–4, then transition to a normal schedule. Avoid mowing until the sod has rooted firmly, typically 3–4 weeks. We provide detailed care instructions with every installation.

Do you install sod for commercial properties?

Yes, we regularly install sod for commercial properties including office parks, athletic fields, HOA common areas, and golf courses. We have the crew and equipment to handle large-scale sod projects efficiently.

Which grass is best for shady areas?

St. Augustine tolerates the most shade of Florida's common lawn grasses, making it the typical recommendation for yards with trees or structures that block sun for part of the day. Zoysia handles moderate shade well. Bahia and Bermuda both require full sun to thrive.
