Why Choose Sod Installation and Why Choose American Dreamscapes of North Georgia?

Sod installation is the quickest and most reliable way to achieve a beautiful, healthy lawn instantly. Unlike planting grass seed, sod gives you an instant, beautiful lawn that begins to grow right away. It’s the perfect solution if you want a new lawn without the wait.

Let's face it, waiting for grass seed to grow can feel like forever.

Sod lawn installation is a much better option because:

Instant Results: You get a fully established, healthy lawn immediately. No more bare patches or waiting weeks for sprouts.

Controlling Erosion: Sod acts like a protective blanket for your soil, preventing erosion and helping maintain a healthy soil structure, especially on slopes.

Natural Weed Defense: Sod is much better at fending off weeds than new seedlings, giving you a head start on a healthy, weed-free lawn.

When you choose American Dreamscapes of North Georgia for your sod installation, you get even more:

How American Dreamscapes Makes Sod Installation Easy (and Healthy).

Here’s our simple, effective sod install process, designed to promote healthy growth:

Healthy Soil Prep: We clear away any debris, grade the soil for proper drainage (nobody wants a soggy lawn!), and ensure the surface is perfectly smooth for your new sod. This is the foundation for a successful and healthy sod installation.

Choosing the Right Sod for a Healthy Lawn: We offer several top-quality sod varieties perfect for North Georgia (Planting Zone 7), each with unique benefits for a healthy lawn.

Fescue: This cool-season grass loves shade and stays green and healthy year-round. Perfect if you have lots of trees. (Think: a consistently healthy, green carpet under your oaks.)

Zoysia: If you're looking for a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant option that thrives in the sun, Zoysia is your winner. It creates a thick, healthy lawn. (Think: barefoot-friendly, perfect for sunny backyards and easy to maintain a healthy look.) If you're searching for "zoysia sod installation near me," you're in the right place!

Bermuda: This tough grass is built for heat and high traffic. Ideal for families with kids and pets who love to play outside and want a healthy, resilient lawn.

Watering

We recommend all clients to add Irrigation-sprinkler systems with new sod if they do not have an existing system. Adding sod to your property is an investment. Think of it like this: You wouldn't buy a new car without purchasing an insurance policy, right? Well, automated irrigation is the insurance policy for your sod!

During the warmer seasons, we recommend watering sod thoroughly twice per day for the first 2 to 3 weeks. Once the sod is rooted in (sod does not come up when pulled), watering can be dialed back to 2 to 4 times per week for the next month.

During the winter, the sod should be watered-in initially. After initial watering, the sod is generally taken care of but may require occasional watering to prevent sod from completely drying out. Take care not to water dormant sod before a hard freeze.

Prep, grading, quantity, and context cause prices to vary greatly. The following prices listed serve as a rough guide.
