Replace Bare or Damaged Grass With Fresh Sod

Fresh sod installed across a residential lawn

Is Sod the Right Fix for Your Lawn?

Sod gives bare or damaged areas immediate grass coverage, but the ground underneath still matters. We review existing grass, soil condition, grade, sun exposure, access, and drainage before preparing the area.

Low spots or runoff may require grading or drainage work before sod is installed. Addressing those conditions first can give the new lawn a better starting surface.

After installation, follow the watering and traffic instructions provided for the sod and site conditions. Share the approximate lawn size and recent treatments when requesting an estimate.

Sod installation: before and after

Compare the bare yard with the newly laid sod. Look at the ground preparation as well as the finished lawn when planning your own project.

Before: bare ground across the yard.
Before: bare ground across the yard.
After: newly laid sod across the same yard.
After: newly laid sod across the same yard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choose a question below for details about this service and what to discuss before requesting an estimate.

Should I choose sod or grass seed?

Sod provides immediate coverage, while seed takes longer to fill in. The better fit depends on the area, grade, season, sun exposure, drainage, budget, and how soon you need usable grass.

Lawn size, old grass removal, soil preparation, grading, drainage work, sod selection, delivery, and site access affect the estimate. Photos and approximate measurements help us understand the starting point.

Preparation may include removing old grass or debris, correcting uneven areas, loosening or improving the soil, and setting the grade before the sod is laid. The required work depends on the existing yard.

Watering and traffic guidance depends on the sod, weather, soil, and site conditions. Follow the instructions provided for your installation, and contact us if the sod dries, shifts, or develops standing water.

Send the approximate lawn size, photos, sun exposure, access points, drainage concerns, and details about recent weed control or other lawn treatments. Those details help us prepare for the site visit.

Luis and his team were awesome! Incredibly responsive, high quality work, extremely professional, and priced more than fair. I've recommended them to family and friends along with coming here to do the same. Our experience here is what you look for whenever you are looking to have a project done at your house.

Brian with Gold was prompt to come give me a quote to replace my old school wood mulch with rock that matches my home and updated edging. He and the crew did a great job; I woke up the next morning to a text from my neighbor how great my landscaping looked!

I’ve used Gold Lawn services twice. I needed to replace a very ugly and hazardous concrete walkway. I had never gone through the process of finding someone to do a job like this. When Im spending thousands of dollars- I’m going to have questions/concerns. I had communicated with a dozen of others for bids before meeting with Brian. I was surprised some people just don’t show up. Brian showed up. He was prompt. He answered questions/concerns as they came up. Brian’s bid fell right in the middle-not the least expensive, not the most expensive. I eventually put my trust in him and chose to hire him. Did it go perfectly? No. Most of his crew seemed very skilled at their craft, hardworking and professional. I knew I wanted to use brick but wished the design felt a little less rushed but we were up against a timeline and it is a walkway to the house. Overall, Brian and his crew worked with tight time constraints and got the job done in less than ideal weather. Two yrs later the finished product still gets compliments by almost everyone. On another occasion, Brian’s crew buried downspouts in my backyard to help keep water away from the foundation. I would recommend Brian Gold and will use his service again. Thank you.
