What Is Sod?

Sod is a section of turfgrass that includes the grass, a layer of soil and the grass roots. Sod rolls cover 9 square foot sections for easy replacement of small or large section of bare soil.

How Is Sod Installed?

First, your existing lawn is mechanically removed and the ground is levelled. Next, fresh organic topsoil is spread onto the area to deliver beneficial nutrients. Lastly, sod rolls are professionally installed by our expert team.

Benefits Of Sod:

Immediate Results

A thick, mature lawn in as little as one day. No waiting for grass to grow.

Weed Free Lawn

Your new lawn will have no weeds. You’ll need to join a lawn care program to keep it that way.

Easy To Establish

Sod will take root within 14 days. Deeper roots establish in 3-6 weeks.

Can I Install Sod Myself?

While some homeowners may attempt to install sod on their own, sod installation is best left to the professionals. Sod installation is backbreaking work – with each roll weighing approximately 40 lbs, it is not an easy task to take on.

Without a professional sod cutter machine, you risk uneven removal of your existing turf resulting in a lumpy lawn. Beyond that, Maggio has access to the finest quality Kentucky Bluegrass sod that is freshly harvested the morning of your installation.

When Is The Best Time To Install Sod?

It’s a myth that sod can only be installed during cooler times of the year. Maggio successfully installs sod all season long. Even during extreme heat and drought, your sod can thrive as long as you adjust your watering according to the conditions.

The key is to keep the soil moist. Pro tip – lift the edge of a sod roll to see how much the water has saturated through.

Can I Walk On My New Sod Right Away?

You’ll have to keep off your lawn for approximately 3 weeks after sod installation to allow the roots to establish. You should also not cut the lawn for 3 weeks, only walking on it to water your sod.
