Freshly installed sod lawn in a Gresham front yard

A new lawn in a day

Sod installation
in Gresham, OR

A thick green lawn in a day instead of a season. We strip the old turf, grade and amend the soil, lay fresh sod tight and roll it in.

Sod Installation in Gresham

The lawn you wanted, without waiting for seed

Seeding a lawn in Gresham means months of mud, birds and weeds before you have grass. Sod gives you a finished lawn the same day and a lawn you can walk on in a few weeks. The difference between sod that thrives and sod that fails is the prep, so we do it properly: remove the old turf and weeds, rototill, bring in soil where needed, grade so water runs away from the house, and roll the sod in tight.

One customer put it well after we leveled, tilled, brought in new soil and laid new sod in a full backyard demo: "This little company did a very big job."

Ask a question
When is the best time to install sod in Gresham?

Spring and early fall are ideal, but sod can be installed most of the year as long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged. Summer installs just need diligent watering.

How soon can I walk on new sod?

Lightly after about two weeks, normally after three to four once the roots have knitted into the soil. The first mow is usually at two to three weeks.

Do you remove the old lawn or lay sod on top?

We always remove the old lawn. Sod laid over old turf or weeds roots poorly and fails within a season.

How much water does new sod need?

Daily for the first two weeks, keeping the soil under the sod moist, then tapering to deep watering two or three times a week. We give you a written schedule.
