Turf or sod?
Pick the lawn that suits the spot
We install both, so we have no reason to push one. Here's how they compare.
| Compare | Artificial turf | Sod |
|---|---|---|
| Mowing | None | Regular mowing through the growing season |
| Watering | None needed to stay green | Regular watering, most of all while new sod roots |
| Look | Even green in every season | Real grass that changes with the seasons |
| Best for | Side yards, play areas, small backyards | New lawns, worn-out lawns, bare patches |

Build the base
A compacted base goes down and is leveled so the turf sits flat.
Lay the turf
The turf is rolled out, cut to shape and joined.
Finish the edges
Edges are secured and the fibers brushed up.
