Sick of fighting with your old tired lawn?

Sod installation is the process of laying pre-grown grass over prepared soil to create an instant lawn. Unlike seeding, sod provides immediate results and quickly transforms bare or damaged yards into lush, green landscapes.

Many homeowners choose sod because it:

• Provides an instant green lawn
• Requires less irrigation than seed
• Contains fewer weed issues than seeding
• Helps prevent soil erosion immediately
• Becomes usable much faster than seeded lawns
• Creates a uniform appearance right away

Sand River Landscaping installs premium Kentucky Bluegrass sod to provide homeowners with a thick, healthy, and attractive lawn.

Most residential sod installation projects can be completed in just one to two days, depending on the size of the property and site conditions.
