Andy's PGM, Professional Grounds Maintenance

Sod Installation in Sarasota, FL

We remove the old grass, prepare and grade the ground, and lay new sod with tight seams and clean edges.

The same waterfront yard with new sod laid down to the seawall, trimmed hedges along the house and a wheelbarrow on the lawn.

Ground preparation

How a lawn looks a year later depends mostly on the preparation underneath. We remove the old grass and weeds, add soil to low areas, grade the yard so it’s smooth and even, and rake it out before laying sod.

The photos on this page are from one job: the yard graded and raked, then sodded down to the seawall, with the hedges trimmed alongside.

Installation

Sod pieces are laid snug against each other with staggered seams, and the edges are cut clean along beds, walkways and the driveway.

Cleanup

Leftover sod, pallets, extra soil and the old grass we removed are all hauled away.

Common questions

What kind of grass do you lay?

That depends on your yard, how much sun it gets and how it's used. We'll go over the options when we come look.

How do I water new sod?

New sod needs steady water while the roots establish. We'll give you watering instructions for your yard and the time of year when we finish.

Can you lay sod down to the water?

Yes. The photos on this page are from a waterfront yard we sodded down to the seawall.
