How to Install St. Augustine Sod Grass


1. Clear the Area

Remove any old grass, weeds, or debris. You want a clean surface for the new sod to make direct contact with the soil.

2. Level and Prepare the Soil

Fill in low spots and level uneven ground. For best results, loosen the top 1-2 inches of soil to help the roots establish quickly. If you want help, our landscapers can prep the site for you.

3. Lay the Sod

Start by laying sod pieces along a straight edge, like a sidewalk or driveway. Stagger the seams like brickwork and press edges tightly together to avoid gaps.

4. Water Immediately

As soon as you lay the sod, water it thoroughly. Keep it consistently moist (but not soggy) for the first 2-3 weeks as it establishes roots.

5. Avoid Heavy Use

Try not to walk on or mow the new sod until the roots have had time to settle in - usually around 3 weeks.

6. Ongoing Care

Once your lawn is established, mow regularly and follow the right fertilization schedule.

Why Choose Professional Sod Installation from Splawn Sales?

Laying sod might sound simple, but getting it right takes more than just rolling out grass. Proper installation makes the difference between a thriving lawn and a patchy mess.

Here’s why trusting the professionals at Splawn Sales is worth it:

Even, Level Ground

We prep your site the right way - clearing debris, filling holes, and leveling the surface - so your grass doesn’t settle unevenly or create low spots that collect water.

Tight Seams, No Gaps

A pro install means your sod is laid tight and staggered correctly, preventing gaps that lead to weed growth, uneven coverage, or wasted product.

Faster Root Establishment

Our professionals know how to water, roll, and care for fresh sod so the roots take hold faster, and your lawn stays healthy from day one.

Saves You Time (and Money)

Avoid the trial-and-error headaches. With the right tools and experience, we get it done fast and right the first time, so you’re not stuck redoing the job a few weeks later.

Whether you're installing a new lawn or replacing a worn-out yard, have our team deliver, prep, and install your St. Augustine sod. So, you can enjoy a thick, green lawn without the guesswork.
