Seattle Sod Installation

If your Seattle yard is looking more like a patchy brown desert than a lush green oasis, it’s time to consider sod installation. This quick solution can transform your outdoor space, enhancing curb appeal, improving safety, and offering an eco-friendly, low-maintenance alternative to traditional grass planting. With the right approach, your lawn can thrive, providing a beautiful backdrop for outdoor activities and gatherings.

Description & Benefits

What the Service Includes

Sod installation is a straightforward process that includes several key tasks:

  • Site Preparation: This involves clearing the area of debris, weeds, and old grass. Proper grading may also be done to ensure good drainage.
  • Soil Test and Amendments: Testing the soil to determine its pH and nutrient levels helps determine if any amendments are needed to create the best environment for your new sod.
  • Sod Selection: Choosing the right type of sod for your specific needs, whether it’s Kentucky bluegrass for a lush, green look or fescue for shade tolerance.
  • Installation: Laying down the sod in a staggered pattern to minimize seams and ensure coverage.
  • Watering: Initial watering to help the sod establish roots.
