New sod lawns in Merrick & Nassau County

Old turf removed, ground graded, and new sod installed for homes and businesses in Merrick and the surrounding Nassau County towns.

The same yard a month after sodding: a striped green lawn with flowers in the brick-edged bed along the house
After: waterfront backyard rebuild

What’s included

  • Old lawn stripped out
  • Soil graded and amended
  • Sod laid tight and rolled
  • Watering schedule for the first weeks

A new sod lawn starts with taking the old one out. The worn turf is stripped, and the soil underneath is graded and amended so water runs away from the house and the new lawn has something to root into. The sod is laid tight, with no gaps between the pieces, and rolled so it sits flat against the soil.

We leave you with a watering schedule for the first weeks, which is the part that makes or breaks new sod. A sprinkler system makes that much easier — the waterfront backyard below got both. Once it has rooted in, weekly maintenance and a fertilizer program keep it that way.

On the job

The largest job here is a waterfront backyard rebuild: a torn-up side yard graded and leveled, fitted with sprinklers and a brick-edged bed, then sodded and photographed again a month later. You can also see bare ground beside a paver patio covered with new sod.
