Types of Sod We Install in Tulsa
Bermuda
Ideal for sunny yards. Hybrid varieties have dark‑green color and rapid growth. Bermuda is drought‑ and wear‑tolerant.
Fescue
Perfect for shaded lawns. It stays green year‑round but needs regular watering and overseeding.
Zoysia
Dense and soft underfoot. Zoysia tolerates heat and moderate shade and thrives with deep, less frequent watering.
Buffalo
A native grass that requires very little water, fertilizer or mowing—great for naturalized areas.
Our Sod Installation Process
01
Site Preparation
We remove debris, weeds and old turf, then grade the soil so water drains properly. A soil test guides any amendments needed to correct pH or nutrient levels.
02
Soil Conditioning
We till and level the soil, incorporate organic matter and fertilizer, then lightly water to ensure it’s moist—not muddy—before sod placement.
03
Sod Placement
Fresh sod arrives from local farms. We lay each roll tightly together in a staggered pattern to avoid gaps and overlap. On slopes we pin the sod for stability.
04
Rolling & Watering
A lawn roller removes air pockets and ensures good root contact. We water deeply after installation and leave you with a watering schedule for the first two weeks.
05
Initial Care
Keep off the sod for two weeks while roots establish. We provide tips for mowing and fertilizing once the lawn is ready.
When Is Sod Installation the Right Choice?
New Construction Lawns
Building a new home leaves you with bare soil. Fresh sod turns rough ground into a beautiful lawn immediately and helps control erosion.
Replacing Dead or Damaged Grass
If weeds, pets, or neglect have ruined your grass, sod is the quickest way to restore a uniform, healthy lawn. Nursery‑grown sod arrives weed‑free. In many cases, replacement is the better option than trying to patch a lawn that has already declined too far.
Lawn Renovation Projects
When you regrade your yard or fix drainage, sod covers the soil quickly and stabilizes slopes. It’s ideal for yards with steep hills or water run‑off issues. If the lawn is uneven, worn out, or inconsistent across the property, sod installation can be part of a larger lawn renovation plan.
Faster Results for Property Improvement
When appearance matters now, sod is often the preferred choice. It is ideal for property owners who want their lawn to look established much sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sod Installation
How soon can I walk on new sod?
It is best to limit foot traffic in the first two weeks so the sod can begin rooting properly and stay in place.
How long does new sod take to root?
Rooting time depends on weather, watering, sod type, and site conditions, but generally, new sod takes 10 to 14 days to establish shallow roots and 30 to 45 days for deep, secure rooting.
Do I need to remove my old grass before I lay sod?
Yes, you must remove your old grass, weeds, and at least 1–2 inches of topsoil before installing new sod. Removing failing grass, weeds, and debris helps create a better base for the new sod.
What type of sod is best for my yard?
For most Tulsa yards, Bermuda sod is the best choice due to its high tolerance for extreme heat, drought, and heavy foot traffic.
For shady areas, Zoysia or Tall Fescue are better, lower-maintenance alternatives.
Is sod better than seed?
Sod is usually the better option if you want fast results. It provides an instant green lawn, helps prevent soil erosion on slopes, and can typically be used within 2–3 weeks once it starts rooting.
Seed, on the other hand, is a more affordable option and offers a wider variety of grass types.
How much does sod installation cost?
Sod installation in the Tulsa and Broken Arrow area typically costs between $0.75 and $1.50 per square foot for full-service installation. This usually includes materials, labor, and basic lawn preparation. Final pricing may vary depending on the size of the yard, soil conditions, and the type of sod used.
