Sod Installation Near Me in NJ — What to Expect
You searched "sod installation near me." You want a new lawn. But you’ve never done this before.
Here’s the whole process. Start to finish. No surprises.
Step 1: You Text Us Your Address
Text 848-301-1569 with your address. We pull it up on Google Earth, measure your yard, and text you back a price range within a few hours.
No forms. No emails. No waiting 3 days for a callback.
Step 2: Site Visit (Free)
If the price works, we come look at your yard. Takes 15 minutes. We check:
- Soil condition (sandy? clay? rocks?)
- Drainage (does water pool anywhere?)
- Access (can our truck get close?)
- Shade vs. sun
- Sprinkler heads
After the visit, you get an exact price. Not a range — a number.
Step 3: You Say Yes
No contracts. No deposits on small jobs. You just say "let’s do it" and we schedule you.
Most jobs: 1-2 weeks out. Rush jobs: 3-5 days.
Step 4: Installation Day
Morning (7-8 AM): Crew arrives with everything.
First 2 hours: We rip out your old lawn. Everything goes in the truck.
Next 1-2 hours: Soil prep. Grade for drainage. Add 2-4 inches of topsoil if needed. Lime. Starter fertilizer. Rake smooth.
Final 2-3 hours: Lay the sod. Tight seams. Staggered joints. Cut around edges. Roll flat.
Cleanup: We haul away all debris. Driveway clean. Yard green.
Total time: 1 day. Large properties: 2 days.
Step 5: You Water It
- Week 1-2: Water 2-3 times per day, 10-15 minutes
- Week 3-4: Once per day
- Week 5+: Every other day
That’s your only job.
