Timing is everything in the health and look of your yard. At Hoskins Landscaping Contractors LLC we assist home owners in making the decision to either replace, repair, or revitalize their lawn.
If you are seeing bare spots in your lawn, thin patches of grass, or signs of poor soil health, this guide is for you which will help you to determine if you require professional help to repair your outdoor space with the use of sod replacement services.
What Are Sod Replacement Services?
Sod installation is the practice of tearing out present, sick turf and putting in live, full grown sod which overhauls your lawn. Unlike seed which takes weeks or months to grow in, sod gives you a perfect green full lawn right away. It is a practical choice for re-sodding a lawn which has issues with pests, heavy wear, poor drainage or just plain old neglect.
At Hoskins Landscaping Contractors LLC we provide full service for your landscaping needs which includes turf removal and replacement, soil preparation and sod installation. We see to it that each step of the process is taken care of which in turn results in a healthy, durable lawn that does great with the right care.
Signs You Need to Replace Your Lawn
At what point does your current lawn require replacement? That depends on a few visible and invisible factors.
If you have grass which is thin or discolored although you’re already doing appropriate water and mow care, you may have compacted soil or root damage, also it may also be a case of persistent weeds. We find that issues like these go beyond the scope of what can be fixed with just more seed. Also if you find yourself in constant battle with pests or fungus it’s possibly a situation that is too widespread for repair in which case replacement may be a better solution.
Another indicator of that is patchiness. If in your yard more than 40% is bare or filled with weeds out of the picture then partial solutions will not be a long term fix. In which case a grass replacement service is a smart play for you, it gives you a clean start and stronger root structure.
When Is the Best Time for Lawn Resodding?
Timing is of the essence in lawn resodding. In the spring and early fall we see best results which are also the times of moderate soil tempers and more consistent rain. At this time you will see quick and deep root establishment.
During hot or cold extremes sod may not root in at all which in turn may delay growth or cause failure. If you are going to do front yard sod work for looks say you are putting it in to sell your home do it during the peak growth months for best results.
At Hoskins Landscaping Contractors LLC we do an assessment of your soil type, sun exposure, and regional climate before we get into the sod installation which in turn guarantees long term success.
Benefits of Professional Sod Replacement Services
DIY sod replacement may seem like a good idea but it often results in uneven growth, poor drainage, or you wasting material. Hiring professionals will see to it that old turf is removed completely and that the new sod is put in properly for your environment.
We offer soil testing, proper grading, and irrigation adjustment as part of our sod replacement services which are key to healthy turf. Also we choose the best turfgrass replacement for your needs which may be shade tolerance, drought resistance or foot traffic durability.
The end result is a lawn which does better and requires less care over time.
Replacing Dead Grass vs Repairing It
If your lawn is dead but still has a few green spots you may be at a loss as to what to do. Small areas of dead grass at times can be brought back with aeration, over seeding, or fertilizing. But if grass won’t respond to those methods — or the soil is very compact and also you have a lot of weeds then replacing the dead grass is the way to go.
Professional contractors will evaluate the state of your lawn and present a practical solution. Also, it is usually true that if you get rid of the turf and put in new, it will save you time, effort, and in the long term money.
New Grass for Yard: Is Sod Better Than Seeding?
If at the start of a new lawn or renovation of a failed one you have a choice between sod and seed. Seed is a cheaper option which is great for the pocket but it does take time to establish itself, requires more water which in turn increases your bill and also is a0 at the mercy of the elements. Sod on the other hand comes in and gives you an instant result of a green lawn.
With sod also comes a developed root system which in turn means better weed resistance and faster recovery from foot traffic. That’s which many home owners choose sod over seeding we’re talking of guaranteed results.
