Grass Sod? or Grass Saud?

Why Choose Grass Sod (Grass Saud) vs Seeding?

Spelling grass saud instead of grass sod is a common mistake made by many people. Now you know that the correct spelling is sod for the actual roll of grass and sodding for the service of installing the grass.

Now, lets answer the question why Grass Sod (Grass Saud) is better than seeding. First, we need to know what sod is all about. Simply, sod is a roll of grass which contains all the root system that the grass need in order to do well in the new sod replacement location. The roll comes with about an inch of soil that preserves the roots. Farmers grow the sod in special farms over large area and when the grass has established enough strong roots, they cut it for the retailers that sell for homeowners to use. Using sod is a much faster and efficient way to establish a flawless green lawn. On the other hand, seeding require repeat seedings, more watering, and more time to invest and watch the process to achieve good results.

Our Thorough Grass Sod (Grass Saud) Installation Process

Step 1 of Lawn Installation Process

Soil health must be tested prior to Grass Sod (Grass Saud) installation. This is a very significant step, as it means that your new grass will easily adapt and flourish in its place. Our test phase ensures that your sod makes your property look lovely.

Step 2

In most cases, we eliminate all current Grass/Weeds clipping with a sod cutter. In some cases, we use different machines to get the removal process done.

Step 3

We use a rototiller at this point to turn the soil over. We loosen the soil to aerate the soil and allow the new grass roots to absorb the nutrients in the soil.

Step 4

Adding amendments to topsoil/ adding soil. If needed, we add the required elements and a layer of fresh topsoil to ensure that the condition of the soil is healthy and nutrient-rich. The topsoil layer is also important because, along with the old lawn, the old soil could be taken out.

Step 5 of Lawn Installation Process

The next step is Grading/Leveling the Lawn area. We grade and level the lawn to make sure there are no noticeable bumps and to prevent any puddling of water after a rainfall.

Step 6

We use a drum roller to roll the lawn area to ensure that grading and leveling are performed in the best possible way, and then we can see if final grading and leveling are required. We will go through phase #5 all over again occasionally.

Step 7

It is time for new sod replacement & final rolling after the soil is ready. In this stage, we install the fresh sod (brought from the farm on the same day) against the slope of the lawn in a brick pattern to prevent it from sliding. We roll the grass with a drum roller again after the installation is done to remove any air pockets that might result in dead spots on the grass.

This stage may sound straightforward, but we hear the opposite from our customers. Thus, after the job is done, we make sure the site is clean.

What Our Clients Say About Our Sodding Service

Searched turf installation near me and noticed My Landscapers at the top with great reviews. From getting a quote from Daniel, to having Michael and Antonio on site installing, it was a great experience. They got hung up on an earlier job in the morning and they let me know they’d be coming a little later in the day. They stayed until the sun went down and although they ended up short a little bit with some sod rolls, they promptly returned in the morning to complete and sod the remaining corner in less than 15 minutes, and didn’t complain one bit. When they’re even willing to blow off the dust from some of the cars that were parked in the area during cleanup, you know you’re working with people who take pride in their work rather than making a quick buck. I gave it some time to see how things would settle in before writing this review and besides some pesky squirrels digging holes and some of the far edges of the lawn perhaps getting missed with my watering looking a little dryer, I’m more than happy with the result. Thanks My Landscapers!

My Landscapers team was very professional and very organized. They created a great atmosphere for me to interact and continue working with them. They were very professional and responded in a timely manner. There was an instance when they missed a day and they quickly apologized and everything turned out fine. Oh well! My lawn came out just the way I liked it and they gave me good energy which makes me want to work with them in the future. Thank you My Landscapers team! See you soon! Take care! 🙂
