Sod Installation & Lawn Renovation

Transform Your Lawn in One Day

A healthy, green lawn dramatically improves your home appearance and provides a great space for outdoor activities. But achieving that perfect lawn takes more than just mowing and fertilizing. If your current lawn is full of weeds, thin and patchy, or seriously damaged, renovation or new sod installation offers the fastest path to the lawn you want.

At EarthWorks Dundalk Landscaping, we specialize in both sod installation and complete lawn renovation. Whether you are starting fresh with a new home, replacing a failed lawn, or simply want instant results instead of waiting months for seed to establish, professional sod installation gives you an immediately usable, beautiful lawn in just one day.

Why Choose Sod Over Seed?

Both sod and seed create lawns, but sod offers advantages that make it worth the investment for many homeowners. Here is what you gain with professional sod installation.

• Instant Results: Walk on your new lawn in 2 to 3 weeks instead of waiting months for seed to fill in
• Weed-Free Start: Quality sod arrives virtually weed-free, while seeded lawns fight weeds from day one
• Erosion Control: Sod immediately stabilizes soil on slopes where seed would wash away
• Consistent Quality: Professional-grade sod ensures uniform appearance and density throughout your lawn
• Less Vulnerability: Established sod tolerates foot traffic, pets, and weather better than delicate seedlings

While sod costs more upfront than seed, many homeowners find the immediate satisfaction, reduced failure risk, and time savings make it the better choice. We help you evaluate both options based on your budget, timeline, and property conditions.

Our Sod Installation Process

Proper installation determines whether your new sod thrives or struggles. We follow proven techniques that ensure excellent root establishment and long-term success.

Complete Lawn Renovation

Sometimes existing lawns need more than overseeding and fertilizer. If your lawn is more weeds than grass, has severe disease or insect damage, or poor soil that prevents healthy growth, complete renovation offers the most effective solution.

Renovation removes failing turf, corrects underlying soil problems, and gives you a fresh start with either sod or premium seed. We address issues like compaction, poor drainage, incorrect pH, and inadequate topsoil depth that prevent lawn success. Think of it as hitting the reset button on your entire lawn.

Lawn renovation works perfectly alongside other landscape improvements. Many homeowners combine renovation with irrigation system installation or landscape redesign for a complete property transformation.

Caring for Your New Lawn

New sod requires consistent watering for the first two to three weeks while roots establish into underlying soil. We provide detailed care instructions and remain available to answer questions during this critical establishment period. Most lawns tolerate light traffic after two weeks and regular use after four weeks.

After establishment, your new lawn requires the same care as any healthy turf including regular mowing, appropriate fertilization, and consistent watering. Our lawn maintenance services handle ongoing care so your investment stays beautiful year after year.
