Picking The Best Sod Work Contractor

By Donna Mitchell


When you want to establish an amazing lawn on your property, whether commercial or residential, there are four options at your disposal. The first is to install a synthetic lawn. The second is to plant grass seeds to establish a natural grass lawn. The third option is to plant grass cuttings to establish the lawn. Lastly, you can install sod or a roll-on lawn. Obviously, you will need to hire the best service provider to handle the sod work if you want to get the best results.

Since there are many competent landscapers in every major city, you need not rush to pick a given contractor before making your final decision. What you should do is look for landscaping contractors that have previously installed amazing lawns from sod in the city. Obviously, there are many other factors to be considered before you can commit yourself.

The ideal service provider must be experienced. They must have been in the industry for several years and served many clients. Be sure to check their portfolios for the types of landscaping jobs they have handled over the years. You want to hire someone or a firm that has previously handled similar types of jobs. Be sure to give strong consideration to the most experienced contractor.

Sod is normally created by germinating grass seeds in a tray. When the seeds germinate, the roots get tangled up against each other, creating a grass carpet of sorts. Once the grass grows to a decent height, the instant lawn can be shipped to the client. Another option is to grow grass seeds on a patch of land and use a sod harvester to harvest the grass after a couple of months.

There are several key factors that may affect the cost of turf installation. The first is the type of grass you want to install in the lawn. After all, grass varieties that take long to harvest and are difficult to germinate are more costly than other grass varieties. Your choice of lawn supplier will also affect the cost. The size of yard where you want to install the sod will also affect the cost of installation.

The rates charged by different contractors must be compared. You are obviously looking for affordable services. Therefore, you will have to request quotes and compare them before committing yourself. Obviously, you want to save money on landscaping services. Therefore, you must compare rates and choose the most affordable landscaper for your needs.

Before instant turf can be installed, the ground or yard where the turf will be installed must be cleared. The top soil must also be loosened and organic fertilizers added. The entire area must then be soaked in water in preparation for the turf. Once ready, the turf can be installed. After installation, the entire area must be soaked in water. After a few hours, the roots of the grass would have penetrated the surface of the ground. The lawn will be ready for use in just 24 hours.

Only licensed contractors should be given any consideration. Therefore, you need to check the validity of licenses before making a decision. Fortunately, there are many locally-licensed landscaping contractors in the city.
