Sod Installation

Fresh-Cut Sod, Laid & Finished

Fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, and RTF blends going down — and the finished lawns the same day. Real jobs, grouped by location.

Hartford (Quechee), VT

9,000 sq ft tall fescue on a hillside

Overnight rain turned the site to mud before sunrise; by golden hour the whole slope was a finished tall fescue lawn — all in one of the longest days of the year.

Sod Prep

The Ground Work Before a Single Roll

Good sod starts with good prep — stripping old lawns, spreading topsoil, grading, and raking a site to a clean, firm bed. Here is the unglamorous part our crews do first.

New Canaan, CT

Estate prep — topsoil, grading & fine raking

Regrading lawns around the pool, putting green, and tennis court, then spreading 220 yards of fresh topsoil and hand-raking to a finished grade before any sod went down.
