Preparing a Lawn for Sod: A Quick Step-by-Step Guide of what we will doon your job
- Assess the area: The first thing we will do is measure your property and determine the dimensions of the space and ensure it’s suitable for sod installation. We will then check for any potential drainage issues or other factors that may affect the health of the sod. If thier are drainage issues, we wil go over your options with you on how we can correct the problems.
- Remove existing vegetation: If needed, we will use a shovel, sod cutter, or herbicide to remove existing grass, weeds, and plants. We’ll make sure the area is clear of debris and any rocks or roots that could hinder sod establishment.
- Test and amend the soil: We will then perform a soil test to determine pH levels and nutrient content. If needed, add organic matter, lime or fertilizers to achieve optimal soil conditions. The ideal pH for most turfgrass species is between 6.0 and 7.0.
- Level and grade the ground: We will either use a rake or our earth moving machines to even out the surface and eliminate any high or low spots. Proper grading will ensure good drainage and prevent water from pooling on the sod. We may have to add or remove soil to achieve the perfect grade We will assess that with you on our estimate if needed.
- Add soil amendments: If the soil is compacted or of poor quality, we’ll incorporate a layer of compost or topsoil to improve structure, moisture retention, and nutrient availability. We would then spread the amendment evenly across the area and till it into the existing soil (again if needed).
- Firm the soil (If needed): We will lightly compact the soil using a lawn roller to provide a stable base for the sod and remove any air pockets that could interfere with root establishment.
- Water the area: We will lightly moisten the soil before laying the sod, as this will help promote quicker establishment and minimize shock to the sod.
- Do a final measure and mark the area: We sometimes use stakes and string to create a grid pattern, ensuring the sod pieces will fit together properly and minimize gaps. In most cases this step is not needed as we can make cuts when we get to the end of the perimeters of where we are laying the sod.
- Install the sod: We will then lay the sod pieces in a staggered pattern, making sure the edges fit snugly together without overlapping. Using a sharp knife, edging shovel or other necessary landscaping tool, our team will trim the pieces as needed so they fit perfectly.
- Maintenance Instructions: We will then give you a watering and maintenance plan. We ill also let you know when to first fertilize the new sod.
For sod preparation, leave it to us! We can do any type of corrective grading if needed before we install your sod. Each sod job is unique and must be given careful consideration before the installation begins. Let us come and sit down with you and discuss your sod job from start to finish.

Sod Installation Cost in NJ
The cost of sod installation can vary significantly based on several factors, which can influence both material and labor expenses. Here are some key reasons why sod installation pricing may fluctuate:
- Sod type and quality: The variety of grass species, as well as its overall health and quality, can impact the cost. Some grass types may be more challenging to cultivate or require additional resources, driving up their price.
- Quantity and area size: Larger areas that need sod installation will generally incur higher costs due to the need for more materials and labor. However, bulk purchases of sod may sometimes result in discounted prices per square foot.
- Soil preparation: The extent of soil preparation required can significantly affect the overall project cost. If the area needs extensive grading, drainage, additional soil, or removal of existing vegetation, these tasks will add to the final price.
- Site accessibility: If the installation site is difficult to access or has challenging terrain, additional labor and equipment may be needed, which can increase costs.
- Time of year: Seasonality can influence sod installation costs. Demand may be higher during peak seasons, potentially resulting in higher prices. Conversely, offseason installation may come with discounted rates or limited availability of materials.
- Contractor expertise and reputation: Experienced contractors with a strong track record of successful installations may charge more for their services. However, their expertise can ensure a high-quality result that offers long-term value.
Considering these factors, here are some ballpark numbers for the price of sod intallation.
Your project can cost anywhere from $1.00 up to $2.00 per square foot fully installed, which includes the sod itself, and labor.
The price can also be higher as mentioned above if there is a lot of grading or addition of soil needed.
