Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best month to lay sod?

The ideal time for sod installation in our area is during spring (March-May) or fall (September-November) when temperatures are moderate and rainfall is more consistent. These seasons allow sod to establish strong roots before facing extreme heat or cold. However, with proper watering and care, we can successfully install sod year-round to meet your project timeline.
