Sod Installation Augusta GA
Sod installation starts with picking the type of sod that will work best for your needs. Common types of sod we can get on a regular basis are Centipede sod, Bermuda sod, Zoysia sod, St. Augustine sod, and Fescue sod. Second, you will need to find a company (Augusta Landscaping) that has the experience needed to complete the work properly.
How does Augusta Landscaping Install Sod?
The first thing our crew will do is prep the yard for your sod installation. We start off by scalping the existing grass from the desired areas and leveling any slopes or hills (if requested). Our team will then install fresh soil (if need) and then rake the areas so the property is flat before installation.
Now it’s time to install the sod. Sod comes in small squares and some types come in large rolls. Our team can install either type. Installation times vary somewhat, but the thing that surprises most people is that the you can see the small lines after installation. This is natural and the “lines” will disappear quickly as the sod takes root.
Here are several pictures of a sod installation project we did off Walton Way in Augusta,GA. The entire yard was scalped and then the sod was installed.
Choosing the Right Sod: Popular Grass Types
When choosing sod for your lawn, it’s important to consider factors like climate, maintenance, and traffic tolerance. Centipede sod is a low-maintenance, slow-growing grass that thrives in warm climates with minimal fertilization.
Bermuda sod is a popular choice for high-traffic areas due to its durability and quick recovery, making it ideal for sports fields and sunny lawns.
Zoysia sod offers a dense, carpet-like texture and excellent drought resistance, though it takes longer to establish.
St. Augustine sod is known for its thick, lush appearance and shade tolerance, making it a great choice for coastal and humid regions.
Fescue sod, unlike the others, is a cool-season grass that stays green year-round and performs well in shaded areas, making it ideal for northern climates. Each type has its strengths, so selecting the right sod depends on your specific needs, climate, and preferences.
Taking Care of sod after installation
After the sod is laid, it is important to give it the attention and care it deserves. You must water the sod more than normal for the first 30 days. The Augusta Landscaping project supervisor will explain the watering schedule in detail after the installation is complete.
