Why LawnStarter?
What our customers are saying
Meet some of our top sod installation pros
Professional Sod Installation – Instant Lawn, Lasting Results
Sod installation is the process of laying pre-grown grass patches or rolls directly onto prepared soil to create an instant, mature lawn.
LawnStarter’s professional Sod installation is perfect for:
- New home construction with bare yards
- Replacing dead or diseased lawns
- Fixing large bare patches
- Erosion control on slopes
- Homeowners who want immediate results
Why you should choose professional installation: Sod is heavy, requires precise soil preparation, and must be installed quickly after delivery. LawnStarter's experienced pros ensure proper Sod Installation.

When to Install Sod (Timing Matters)
Spring (March-May)
- Ideal for cool-season grasses (fescue, bluegrass)
- Moderate temperatures, adequate rainfall
- Full growing season ahead to establish
Early Fall (September-October)
- Best overall timing for most grass types (warm soil, cooler air temperatures, also less heat stress, so less watering is needed)
- Roots establish before winter
Late Fall/Winter (Mild Climates Only)
- Works in southern regions with mild winters
- Dormant sod can be installed year-round in warm climates
Ready for an Instant Lawn?
Stop waiting for grass seed to grow. With LawnStarter’s Sod Installation, you’ll have a lush green carpet in a few days instead of waiting weeks for grass seed to grow.
Life is hard. Taking care of your yard shouldn't be. LawnStarter makes it easy to book Sod Installation in our app, your online account, or by calling Customer Service.
FAQ About Sod Installation
How long does sod installation take?
Most residential lawns (3,000-5,000 square feet) are completed in 1 day. Larger properties or complex grading may take 2-3 days.
Can I walk on new sod?
Not for the first 2 weeks. After that, light traffic is OK. It takes about 3-4 weeks for roots to establish.
When can I mow new sod?
First mow should be 2-3 weeks after sod installation or when grass reaches 3-4 inches.
What if some pieces of sod die?
With proper sod installation and watering, failure is rare. We provide guidance to prevent issues.
Do you install sod on slopes?
Yes. Sod is ideal for erosion control on slopes. We use landscape staples or pins to secure sod until roots establish.
Can you install sod over existing grass? No. Old grass must be removed and soil properly prepared for sod to root successfully.
How soon can I fertilize new sod? Wait 4-6 weeks after installation. Use starter fertilizer for the first application.
