Sod Installation in Seattle

Installing sod can be a game-changer for your lawn, especially in Seattle where the climate can be both a blessing and a challenge. With its lush greenery and temperate weather, Seattle is an ideal location for establishing a vibrant lawn. However, homeowners often face issues such as poor soil conditions, excess moisture, and the right choice of grass type. In this guide, we will walk you through the sod installation process, ensuring that your new lawn thrives in the Seattle environment.


Our Approach

  • Soil Preparation: We start by assessing your existing soil to determine its health and nutrient levels. This step may include testing pH and organic matter content.

  • Choosing the Right Grass: Seattle’s climate is best suited for cool-season grasses like Perennial Ryegrass or Kentucky Bluegrass. We help you select the best variety for your yard’s sun and shade conditions.

  • Sod Installation: We lay down the sod in a staggered pattern to ensure a seamless look and promote healthy root growth. Proper installation techniques are crucial for long-term success.

  • Post-Installation Care: After installation, we’ll provide you with clear instructions on watering, fertilizing, and mowing to help your sod establish quickly.

We’re a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our goal is fewer problems between visits and less work for you.


Service Cadences

  • Quarterly — Spring and fall deep clean + two tune-ups, perfect for keeping your lawn in top shape.
  • Bi-Monthly — Balanced care for most yards, ensuring your grass remains healthy and vibrant.
  • Monthly — Ideal for high-visibility properties and rentals, offering consistent attention and care.

What’s Included

  • Initial Consultation: We assess your yard’s needs and discuss your preferences.
  • Soil Testing: Analyze soil health to ensure optimal conditions for sod installation.
  • Sod Installation: Professional installation of high-quality sod tailored to your yard.
  • Watering Schedule: A detailed plan to help your sod establish roots effectively.
  • Follow-Up Maintenance: Tips on mowing and fertilization to maintain a lush lawn.

Why It Matters

  • Curb Appeal: A well-installed sod lawn enhances the aesthetic of your property, boosting its curb appeal.
  • Safety: Healthy grass provides a safe play area for children and pets while reducing mud and dust.
  • Drainage: A thriving lawn can improve drainage, reducing water pooling and erosion in your yard.
  • Maintenance Savings: Establishing sod correctly reduces the need for extensive maintenance later, saving you time and costs.
