The difference is in the prep
A lawn only looks as good as the soil under it. Most failed sod jobs come from skipping removal and grading. Our crews arrive with the equipment to do it properly in one visit.
- Remove — kill-off, sod cutting or Bobcat stripping of old turf and weeds
- Grade — level low spots and set slope away from the house for drainage
- Amend — add screened topsoil where needed and roll smooth
- Lay — tight seams, staggered joints, cut clean at beds and walks
- Water — first soak and a written establishment schedule
We install for homeowners, landscapers, builders, property managers and HOAs.

Frequently asked questions
How much area does one pallet of sod cover?
Empire Zoysia pallets cover about 400 square feet and Palmetto St. Augustine pallets cover about 500 square feet. Coverage for other varieties varies by farm, so we confirm the exact number when we quote. Order about 5% extra for cuts, curves and edges.
Can you deliver sod the same day?
Often, yes, when the variety is in stock and our trucks have a slot in your area. Call or text before noon for the best chance. Large orders and Broward or Palm Beach deliveries are usually scheduled ahead.
Do I need to remove my old grass first?
Yes. New sod needs direct contact with clean, level soil. We can kill-off and strip old turf, remove debris, grade with our Bobcats and add topsoil before laying sod.
How often should I water new sod in South Florida?
Keep the sod and soil underneath moist for the first two weeks — typically short cycles once or twice a day depending on heat and rain — then taper to deep, less frequent watering as roots knit. Follow Miami-Dade or your city’s watering rules; newly installed landscaping usually has an establishment allowance.
Which sod is best for shade?
No warm-season grass loves deep shade. Empire Zoysia handles light shade better than Floratam or Bermuda. For heavy shade under oaks, we may recommend a shade-tolerant groundcover or mulch bed instead.
