Sod Installation from Long Island Sod Company
Installing sod is not just rolling out grass. It is building a healthy lawn from the soil up. Our crews handle the whole job so your new turf roots quickly, grows evenly and holds up in the Long Island climate.
Every job starts with a look at grading, drainage and soil. We remove old grass and debris, level the site, and add topsoil or amendments where the ground needs them. Sandy South Shore yards get organic-rich topsoil to hold water. Compacted or sloped yards get regraded so water stops pooling or running off.
We lay fresh sod in a staggered, brick-lay pattern with tight seams, roll it for firm soil contact, and give it a deep first watering. Before we leave, you get a care plan with a watering schedule, mowing timeline and fertilizer tips.
Most residential installations are finished in a single day, so the yard looks complete the same afternoon.

“We started a front yard renovation this spring and did not want to wait for seed to grow, so we called LI Sod for a price quote. Matt was extremely generous in sharing the trade secrets with a homeowner, which took away any doubts we had about taking this on ourselves. Matt was available via text, the price was better than I ever expected and the whole process was simple. NO SURPRISES!! We started at 8:30 and had a 1200 sf beautiful Kentucky bluegrass lawn by 1.”
