Custom Sod Installation Service Professionals
A simple solution for a barren backyard is to install sod. Unlike seeding, once the sod is planted the lawn is in place without waiting. So if you have a barren or dead yard call First Light to have us install a new sod yard to bring your yard back to life.
Next, is to lay your sod on the newly prepared lawn area. Generally, it is best to start laying sod along a straight line such as a sidewalk, driveway or even the side of a flowerbed along your house, but we'll keep each row staggered so that the joints are at different locations than the adjoining row. Once we've completed laying your sod lawn, we roll your sod with a lawn roller. The roller causes the roots of the sod to make firm contact with the new soil under the sod. This allows for faster "knitting" of your roots into its new soil home. Water the lawn area you have planted as on a regular basis - usually daily for newly sodded lawns unless rain is occurring. After the first week, start stretching out the time between watering so that the roots will grow downward toward the soil moisture. All that is left is to wait and mow your new sod lawn for the first time in about three weeks.
