    What a sod job covers

    Prep is the job. The sod is the easy part.

    • Removal. Old lawn and weeds stripped out.
    • Grading. Low spots filled, drainage checked, so water doesn't pool on the new grass.
    • Soil prep. Atlanta clay loosened and amended so roots can get down.
    • The right grass. Bermuda for full sun, Zoysia for mixed, fescue for shade.
    • Install. Tight seams, rolled, watered in.
    • Aftercare. A simple watering schedule for the first month.
    "If we don't see it in person, there's a high likelihood whatever quote we give you is inaccurate. It could be a hundred off, it could be a thousand off."Grant Wallace, owner

    Sod is priced by the square foot and by what the ground needs first. That is why we measure and look at the soil before we give you a number.

    Grantlanta did an excellent job resetting my front and back yard allowing me to keep my sanity given the amount of rain that resulted in a ton of overgrowth. They removed and cleaned everything we discussed and mulched where it needed to be mulched. All was done on time with great attention to detail. I’m very happy with the result, to say the least.

    Nice people, quality work, fair pricing and responsive service. What more could you want? Grantlanta has done several big jobs for us in a particularly wild part of our yard, and they always work quickly and without hassle. We’re glad to hire them and support a local company.

    Sod questions.

    What kind of sod is best for Atlanta?

    Bermuda in full sun, Zoysia in mixed light, tall fescue in shade. We'll match it to your yard.

    When can sod be installed?

    Warm-season grasses go in spring through early fall. Fescue goes in fall. We'll tell you the right window when we see the yard.

    How much does sod installation cost?

    Every yard is different, so we quote in person and we don't publish a number. The estimate is free, it's a real number for your yard, and we work with your budget.

    How long until I can walk on it?

    Light use after about two weeks, normal use after a month, once it has rooted.

    Are you licensed and insured?

    We're fully insured. Every estimate is free and in person, so you know exactly what you're getting before any work starts.

    How do I pay?

    Installation projects take a deposit to get on the schedule, and the balance is due when the job is done. We accept credit and debit cards, ACH, Venmo and Zelle.
