What we offer
Our Lawn Seeding and Sod Services
Yard Preparation
Proper site preparation is key to a successful lawn. We ensure your yard is free of weeds, properly graded, and ready for seeding by:
- Removing debris and old grass to create a clean foundation.
- Leveling and grading to promote proper drainage and prevent pooling water.
- Soil enrichment with organic material & fertilizers to encourage root growth.
Sod Installation
For fast, reliable results, sod provides a lush, green lawn almost instantly. It’s the perfect choice if you want quick curb appeal and minimal waiting time.
-
Laying pre-grown grass for an instant, uniform green lawn.
-
Watering and rolling the sod to ensure strong root-to-soil contact.
-
Providing care instructions to support quick establishment and long-term health.
Hydroseeding
Hydroseeding is an efficient and cost-effective method for establishing a lush lawn. It involves applying a blend of seed, mulch, fertilizer, and water in one step, which results in fast germination and uniform growth.
-
Spraying a blend of seed, mulch, fertilizer, and water onto prepared soil.
-
Promoting fast germination and even lawn coverage across large or sloped areas.
-
Offering a cost-effective alternative to sod with excellent erosion control benefits.

Common Questions
Most Popular Questions
Got questions about yard preparation or maintenance? Here are some helpful answers to guide you through the process and ensure lasting results.
How long until my lawn is fully established?
Sod typically establishes in 2–3 weeks. Hydroseed starts to germinate in 7–10 days with consistent watering.
Is hydroseeding better than traditional seeding?
Yes, for many properties. Hydroseeding ensures even coverage, retains moisture, and germinates faster—ideal for large spaces or erosion-prone areas.
When should I book yard prep and lawn installation?
Spring and early fall are the best times, with mild temperatures allowing roots to establish before winter or summer heat.
What’s the maintenance plan for new lawns?
Water daily for the first two weeks, then taper. Mow when grass hits 3 inches, and start fertilizing soon after.
