Sod & Lawn Installation in Cleveland, TN
Graded, prepped and sodded — a finished lawn the same day instead of a season of watching seed wash down the slope.
Our Sod & Lawn Installation Work
Sod is the fastest way to finish a yard, and on any kind of slope it is the only way that actually works — seed on a grade ends up at the bottom of the grade after the first storm. We strip what is there, grade it so water leaves the house, prep and level the soil, then lay the sod tight with the seams staggered and roll it in. It goes in behind our own wall and patio work most of the time, but we will do a lawn on its own too, around Cleveland, Chattanooga, Athens, Dayton and Dunlap.
The lawn is also your drainage. If the grade runs the wrong way, sod just hides it until it is a crawlspace problem.
Tilled and raked out before a single roll goes down. Sod laid over lumpy ground stays lumpy and scalps every time it gets mowed.
Laid tight and offset like brick, then rolled. Gaps between rolls dry out at the edges and that is where the weeds come in.
We tell you exactly how much water it needs for the first two weeks before we leave. Almost every failed sod job we see was underwatered.

What To Expect
01
Free estimate
We come out to your place in Cleveland, Chattanooga or wherever the job is, walk it, and give you a real number. No charge and no pressure.
02
Dig and grade
We cut back to solid ground and set the grade. On a wall this is also where we find out what the soil is actually doing, which is not always what the surface suggested.
03
Base and drainage
Compacted leveling pad, then washed stone and filter fabric behind the wall with an outlet. This is the part you never see and the part that decides everything.
04
Build
Block set course by course, checked for level as it goes, with geogrid tied back into the slope on anything with height on it.
05
Clean up and walk it
Site cleaned, equipment out, and then we walk the finished job with you before we leave.
