How long does sod installation take?

Most sod installation projects are completed in one day, depending on yard size, grading needs, and site access. We handle the prep work, install the sod, and leave your property looking clean and finished. We will also explain the watering and early care steps before we leave.

How soon will my new sod look established?

New sod looks good right away, but it usually takes a few weeks to start rooting and several more weeks to fully establish. Proper watering, limited foot traffic, and timely mowing make a big difference. We give you clear guidance so your lawn gets off to a strong start.

Do you prepare the ground before laying sod?

Yes. Good sod installation starts with proper site preparation. We remove old grass when needed, address rough grading, and smooth the surface so the sod has the best chance to root evenly. A solid base helps prevent gaps, drainage issues, and weak growth later.

How much does sod installation cost?

Pricing depends on the size of your yard, the condition of the existing lawn, grading needs, access to the area, and the type of sod used. We provide clear quotes with no guesswork. Our goal is to give you a lawn that looks great and holds up.

When is the best time of year to install sod?

Sod can be installed during much of the growing season, but timing depends on weather, soil conditions, and the grass type. We help you choose the right window for the best results. If conditions are not ideal, we will tell you honestly and recommend the best next step.

Sod Installation Services | 616 Custom Construction

At 616 Custom Construction, we install sod for homeowners who want a fast, clean way to get a healthy green lawn. Sod gives you an instant upgrade over bare soil or patchy grass, but the result depends on proper prep and careful installation. That is where our experience matters.

Our sod installation service starts with site evaluation. We look at the current lawn condition, drainage, sun exposure, slope, grade, and soil quality. If there are problem areas like low spots, compacted soil, poor runoff, or old turf that needs to be removed, we address those issues before new sod goes down. A smooth base and solid soil preparation help the new lawn root faster and last longer.

We handle the full installation process, which may include old grass removal, rough and finish grading, soil amendment, leveling, and sod placement. We install each piece tightly to reduce gaps, create clean seams, and give the lawn a uniform appearance. We also roll the sod as needed to improve root-to-soil contact, which is a key part of successful lawn establishment.

We can install sod for full front yards, backyards, new construction homes, landscape renovations, and targeted repair areas. Whether you are replacing a damaged lawn or starting fresh, we help you choose the right approach for your property conditions and goals. A professionally sodded lawn can improve curb appeal, reduce mud, control erosion, and create a usable outdoor space much faster than seeding.

After installation, we explain what your new lawn needs to succeed. That includes watering guidance, early foot traffic limits, and basic lawn care recommendations during the rooting period. Good aftercare is just as important as the installation itself, and we want you to know exactly how to protect your investment.

If you want a smoother yard, stronger curb appeal, and a lawn that looks finished right away, our sod installation service is a smart solution. Contact 616 Custom Construction to talk with us about your yard and schedule your sod installation.

Site Visit, Measure & Lawn Plan

We start with a site visit to measure the lawn area, check sun, drainage, soil condition, and existing grade, then recommend the right sod and prep work. You get a clear estimate, realistic timeline, and a plan built for strong rooting and long-term curb appeal.

Prep, Grading & Fresh Sod Install

Before any sod goes down, we remove old turf and debris, fine-grade the surface, and improve the soil bed for even moisture and better root contact. Then we install fresh-cut sod tightly at the seams, roll it for solid contact, and complete the work on the scheduled day whenever conditions allow.

Final Walkthrough & Watering Guidance

After installation, we inspect edges, seams, and grade to make sure the lawn is smooth, secure, and ready to establish. We finish with a walkthrough and simple watering and early-care instructions, so you know exactly how to protect your new sod in the first 2 to 3 weeks.
