Question 1

Why is grading important before installing sod?

Proper grading ensures water drains away from your home and prevents pooling, erosion, and foundation issues. It also creates a smooth, stable surface so sod can root evenly.

Most sod begins rooting within 10–14 days, but full establishment typically takes 4–6 weeks with proper watering and care.
