Sod Installation

"Elevate your outdoor space with our skilled Sod Installation, crafting vibrant lawns that beautify your home

At Foster’s Landscaping, we’ve honed a time-tested sod installation process. As the warm season approaches, it’s essential to address some key maintenance tasks. Ensuring your irrigation system functions flawlessly and applying starter fertilizer post a harsh Idaho winter is crucial.

We’ll accurately measure your yard’s square footage to provide a fair price. We’ll then clarify the scope of our service and terms before commencing work, offering optional services like sprinkler system installation.

The only surprise you’ll encounter is how swiftly we can transform your lawn.

If our estimate aligns with your budget, we can delve into the specific sod placement details. You’ll pay for both the sod and installation time. Consider whether you prefer crisp edges or unique contours. Choices abound. Typically, we request half the estimate upfront for sod procurement, but we’re flexible with special billing requests. Alternatively, if you’re feeling adventurous, learning how to lay sod yourself isn’t overly challenging.”

Prior to sod installation, we prepare the ground by leveling the surface and applying topsoil. To ensure optimal conditions, we can also assess soil pH with a test kit and make necessary adjustments. Once the fresh sod arrives, prompt installation is essential.

We store the sod pieces in a shaded area to maintain their vitality, as sod is a living plant. Swift transplant is crucial to prevent tissue dehydration and plant loss.

Each sod piece covers a few square feet, and during placement, we employ a lawn roller to eliminate air pockets beneath the surface. We also meticulously navigate around sprinkler heads using a utility knife or sod cutter if you have a sprinkler system in place.

Depending on your yard’s size, this process may span several days. Upon completion, you’ll revel in a lush, high-quality grass-covered yard.
