Sod Installation & Lawn Renovation

Professional sod installation in Southwest Florida, from removal to grading and irrigation checks. We deliver fresh, level turf that roots quickly and stays lush through every season.

Serving homeowners and builders across Naples, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, Estero, and Cape Coral, we use locally grown, cut-to-order sod from our own Hodges family farm — guaranteeing freshness, consistency, and performance in Southwest Florida’s heat and humidity.

Sod Options & Add-Ons

Every property is different — sun exposure, irrigation, and soil all matter. We help you choose the best sod variety for your yard, then install it with precision so it roots fast and looks great from day one.

St. Augustine

The Florida classic — dense, vibrant green, and tolerant of coastal conditions. Ideal for full-sun lawns and irrigation coverage.

Bermuda / Zoysia

Fine-textured and durable — perfect for active families and high-traffic areas. Zoysia offers deep green color and soft footing.

Top-Dress & Level

Smooth, even surfaces promote better rooting and cleaner cuts. Optional leveling and compost top-dressing set your new lawn up for success.

Our Sod Installation Process

A healthy lawn starts beneath the surface. We remove old sod, level the base, verify irrigation, and install your new turf with care so it establishes quickly and evenly across the property.

  1. Remove & Grade. Old sod and debris removed, surface leveled, and soil prepped for optimal contact.
  2. Irrigation Check. Coverage verified, heads adjusted, and timers set for daily establishment watering.
  3. Fresh Sod Installation. Tight seams, clean lines, and machine rolling ensure full soil contact and quick rooting.
  4. Care Plan. You’ll get a detailed watering and mowing guide to protect your investment during establishment.

Fresh From Our Own Sod Farm

We grow, cut, and deliver directly from the Hodges family sod farm — guaranteeing consistent quality, color, and freshness. Because we handle every step, from the field to your yard, you can expect greener lawns, tighter seams, and longer-lasting results.

Our sod is harvested to order and delivered early in the morning for same-day installation, reducing stress on the turf and ensuring quick establishment. That’s how we deliver results you can see — and feel — underfoot.

Sod Installation FAQs

Common questions about new lawns, watering, and maintenance — answered by our installation experts.

When can we mow?
Usually after 2–3 weeks once roots have taken hold. We’ll confirm with a light tug test during follow-up.
Do you remove old grass before installing new sod?
Yes — we tear out and haul away old turf, level the soil, and prep for proper drainage before laying new sod.
Do you adjust irrigation?
Absolutely — irrigation is checked, tuned, and programmed for new-sod watering cycles.
What’s the best season to install sod?
In Southwest Florida, sod can be installed year-round, but spring and early fall provide ideal conditions for rooting.
