FAQ
Common questions.
Do I need soil preparation before sod?+
In most yards, yes. Sod roots best into loose, quality topsoil. Laying it onto compacted or poor ground is one of the most common reasons new lawns struggle.
Can you fix low spots and uneven ground?+
Minor low spots and uneven areas can be filled and levelled during preparation. Larger drainage problems may need a different solution, and we will tell you if that is the case.
What kind of soil do you use?+
Screened topsoil suited to lawns and gardens. We can talk through options when we quote.
