What you need to know about Oswego sod installation

In Oswego, sod installation can mean the difference between a patchy yard and a rich, emerald outdoor haven. The uniformity and appearance of your yard directly impacts the value of your property and the curb appeal of your home or commercial property.

In fact, the landscaping you’ve implemented can increase your home’s value by as much as 15% to 20%. Sod installation provides a solid foundation to create the yard of your dreams.

What is sod?

If you’re trying to make your lawn healthy and green again, can’t you just use seeding, springing, plugging, or other less intensive methods than sodding? You can, but these techniques might not be what your lawn needs. Plus, new sod installation has several benefits for your lawn

Different types of sod for your Oswego yard

The Ware Landscaping sod installation team can help you select the best type of sod grass to fit your customized yard needs. There’s a wide variety of sod on the market, and each type comes with its own benefits.

In Illinois, some types of sod will work better with the climate than others. It’s important to research your options and select your sod based on which type of grass will thrive in your yard. Often, property owners choose to combine sod types as well.

The most popular types of sod grass in Oswego include:

The benefits of sod

Sod has numerous benefits and can improve the health of your soil and the appearance of your yard. Waiting for grass to grow and hoping that it will thrive (and that you won’t have to reseed your lawn) can be stressful and frustrating.

On the other hand, if you choose professional sod installation, you can expect an immediate, positive transformation of your landscape. Some of the plentiful benefits of sod installation also include:

Lawn consistency:

Sod grass can provide a lush and even lawn. You won’t have to worry about dying patches or uneven sod growth.

Eco-friendly:

Sod needs less irrigation and watering than its seed-planted counterparts. By using organic fertilizer and installing sod that nourishes your topsoil, you’re utilizing an eco-friendly alternative to soil eroding, overwatered, and unhealthy grass.

Increased curb appeal:

When you install sod, you immediately add value to your curb appeal. For commercial properties, this helps attract potential clients and visitors. For residential properties, curb appeal can improve your home’s appraisal and can welcome visitors to your property.

Instant lawn:

Sod allows you to transform your yard overnight — the patchy brown lawn of yesterday is replaced by a brilliant and thriving green yard.

Multi-season planting period:

Seeded grass has a small window of time for planting. If you miss that window and wait too long, your yard will still remain a year away. Sod can be installed in almost every season.
However, its roots need a way to connect with your soil’s ecosystem, so you shouldn’t install sod over frozen ground.

Soil erosion prevention:

Sod can prevent stormwater runoff from ruining your soil. It also helps to protect and nourish your topsoil, which in turn, prevents unhealthy soil erosion.

Weed reduction:

Sod laid over newly irrigated and fertilized topsoil experiences little to no new weed growth, and can help in weed prevention. This helps foster an excellent environment for any flora you choose to plant.

What people are saying

Ware Landscaping & Snow Removal

They did a great job and we are very pleased!

“I contacted Mike at Ware Landscaping for help with fixing my flooded backyard and garage. Mike gave me an honest assessment of my situation and recommended the right system to fix my problems (a lot of issues). Ware Landscaping installed drainage, underground downspouts, underground sump pump lines, driveway drains and surface drains in the yard to fix all my problems.. The team was very professional and always asked for my approval on work being done before it was completed. They did a great job and we are very pleased!”

Jim Kristof

I recommend him without any hesitation.

“We had a water problem in our basement that Mike Ware completely eliminated by removing both our sump pump water and downspout water away from the home. He was professional and highly motivated to solve the problem and do it the right way. I always felt like a priority and that my project mattered. I recommend him without any hesitation.”

Michael Swider

FANTASTIC JOB!!!

Ware Landscaping did a FANTASTIC JOB!!! I needed my entire backyard regraded and they filled it in with more than 2 truck loads, installed a French drain and put new beautiful green sod on top. They also power washed and reset my front retaining wall. Communication from the beginning was always very good. We always knew when they were coming out. The project was completed on time as well. They also called on their own a month after the project to check on the sod and were willing to replace some spots due to the June heat wave. Would recommend Ware Landscaping to all!!!”

Dan Malloy

The entire crew were incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail.

“Mike, Greg and the rest of the crew made our back yard dream a reality with a drainage system to remove the stream that flowed through the middle of the yard, which flooded every rainstorm and stuck around for weeks. To complete the look in came a perfectly designed beautiful hardscape patio that we can’t wait to use this summer. The entire crew were incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail. Highly recommend!”

Katie Jankowski

The crew was fast, friendly, and tidy.

“We had a wooden deck for a front porch that was starting to age. When we removed it we saw that there was a concrete slab underneath it that was pitched toward our house, creating an issue with standing water up against our foundation. We had Mike come by to advise us on the best solution, and he suggested permeable pavers. We were able to come up with a custom design with him that day. The crew was fast, friendly, and tidy. I’m sure they do much bigger jobs than our little patio, but this project made a huge difference for our home.

Common questions about Oswego sod installation

When you select sod installation over grass seeding for your Oswego yard, you may wonder about the practicality and maintenance of sod grass.

Our sod installation experts can answer your questions, and create customized solutions to ensure your yard looks amazing.

Do you have to water sod?

In short, yes. However, sod requires less watering than seeded grass. As rolls of sod have roots, it’s vital to ensure these roots can grow into your soil’s ecosystem.

In the immediate aftermath of your sod installation, you should water for at least a 45 minute duration to support root growth and a thriving yard.

Can sod replace dead grass?

Many property owners who opt for sod installation have some pre-existent grass growth in their yard. Perhaps the grass hasn’t grown evenly over the entire lawn, or eroded soil has prohibited growth.

However, it’s important that you remove dead grass and replenish healthy topsoil before you install sod. Sod needs to have direct contact with nourished soil in order for its roots to take hold.

How quickly does sod need to be installed?

Although sod can last anywhere from 36 to 72 hours before it’s installed, it’s important to lay sod as quickly as possible after purchase. If sod pallets are rolled up for too long, vital moisture can evaporate and sod roots can die.

How long should I wait before I mow sod?

Once your sod feels firmly connected to the soil, it should be safe to mow. Typically, this process takes about six weeks. The great news is, sod grass usually will not require the same frequency of mowing that you may experience with seeded grass.

If you select a Ware Landscaping seasonal lawn maintenance package, we’ll even take care of mowing for you.

How long does sod installation take?

Installed sod will instantly transform your yard. However, the meticulous process of installation can take several days to complete. The professionals of Ware Landscaping understand how to complete this process with quick efficiency.

We’ll consult with you to ensure our installation schedule works with your needs and your allotted time frame.
