Transform Your Landscape with Elite Lawn Solutions

The ideal seasons for lawn installation are early fall and spring. Fall offers perfect conditions with cool temperatures and ample rainfall, giving roots time to establish before winter. Spring is the second-best option, but be prepared to provide extra irrigation during potential dry spells. We avoid summer installations unless irrigation systems are in place, as young grass needs consistent moisture to thrive in the green theater of life.

Your green carpet typically begins its underground journey within 10-14 days, but complete rooting is a patient art—usually taking 4-6 weeks under ideal conditions. During this critical period, the sod is weaving its foundation below the surface. Temperature, soil quality, and moisture all perform vital roles in this underground symphony. While your lawn may appear established on the surface sooner, resist the urge to test it with heavy use until the full rooting period has passed.

Proper preparation is the hidden foundation of lawn success. Our comprehensive process includes:

• Soil testing to identify nutritional needs and pH balance
• Removal of existing vegetation and debris
• Grading the area to ensure proper drainage
• Adding topsoil and amendments based on test results
• Installing irrigation systems if needed
• Final soil preparation with raking and leveling

This meticulous groundwork creates the perfect stage for your lawn's grand performance.

Newly installed lawns require a carefully choreographed watering routine:

First two weeks: Water twice daily, morning and afternoon, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Think of it as nurturing a thirsty infant.

Weeks 3-4: Reduce to once daily, increasing the amount per session to encourage deeper root growth.

After week 4: Transition to 2-3 times weekly with longer, deeper watering sessions. This teaches your lawn's roots to search deeper for moisture, creating drought resilience.

Remember, this symphony of hydration should be adjusted based on weather conditions—rainfall is nature's watering can and should be accounted for in your schedule.

Choosing between sod and seed is like deciding between buying a finished painting or creating your own masterpiece:

Sod (Instant Gratification): Pre-grown grass that provides immediate green coverage, usable within weeks, with fewer weed issues. However, it's more expensive and offers fewer grass variety options.

Seed (Patient Artistry): More economical with greater variety choices, but requires 8-12 weeks to establish, demands meticulous care, and faces more competition from weeds during establishment.

We'll help you choose the right approach based on your timeline, budget, and specific lawn dreams. Sometimes, a hybrid approach works best for certain landscapes.

Patience is the gardener's virtue when it comes to the first mowing ceremony:

For sod: Wait at least 2-3 weeks after installation, until the roots have established enough that you cannot easily lift the sod. The grass should reach about 3-4 inches in height before this inaugural trim.

For seed: Allow the new grass to reach about 3.5-4 inches before cutting it back to 2.5-3 inches. This usually occurs 4-8 weeks after germination, depending on grass type and growing conditions.

For both methods, ensure your mower blades are razor-sharp for a clean cut that minimizes stress on your young lawn. Never remove more than one-third of the grass height in a single mowing session—it's a gentle art, not a dramatic haircut.

Lawn installation is an investment whose price canvas varies based on several factors. Typically, our professional installations range from $3-8 per square foot for complete services, with the final investment depending on:
