Sod, Grading & Drainage

From soil stability to elegant entrances, our retaining walls and steps are built to perform and designed to impress

Why Sod, Grading & Drainage Matter

A healthy lawn starts with the right foundation. Proper grading keeps water moving away from your home, targeted drainage prevents erosion and soft spots, and premium sod gives instant curb appeal while your lawn establishes. Done together, you get a cleaner yard that looks great and functions the way it should.

  • Correct grading prevents water pooling near foundations.
  • Premium sod delivers instant green coverage vs. seeding.
  • Drainage solutions reduce erosion and lawn damage.
  • Long-term savings by preventing water issues early.

Our 5-Step Process

1) Site Assessment

We review soil, slope, access, and pooling areas. Measurements and photos confirm the scope.

2) Remove & Prep

Old turf and debris are removed. We scarify and level the base, adding topsoil where needed.

3) Laser Grading

We set proper slopes to move water away from structures and eliminate low spots.

4) Drainage Install

French drains, swales, or downspout tie-ins are added where needed to manage water long-term.

5) Sod & Roll

Premium sod is laid, rolled for contact, and watered. We provide care guidance for strong rooting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can I walk on new sod?

Light foot traffic is fine after about 2 weeks, but we recommend waiting 3–4 weeks for strong root establishment before regular use.

How often should I water new sod?

Water deeply once or twice daily for the first 2 weeks, ensuring the soil stays moist. After that, reduce frequency as roots grow deeper.

Will grading fix pooling water in my yard?

Yes — proper grading directs water away from structures and prevents low spots from collecting water. In some cases, a drain system is also recommended.

Is sod better than seed?

Sod provides instant green coverage, fewer weeds, and faster establishment. Seeding is lower cost but requires months of care to achieve the same results.

How long will my new lawn last?

With proper installation, watering, and care, sod establishes into a healthy permanent lawn that lasts just as long as a seeded yard.
