Serving Chattanooga & Northwest Georgia

Sod Installation

Seed asks you to wait a season and hope. Sod gives you a real lawn the day we finish. We install sod for homes around Chattanooga and Northwest Georgia, from bare dirt behind a new build to a front yard that just never filled in. Most of the work happens before the first roll comes off the pallet: we clear what's there, grade the ground so water runs off the right way, and prep the soil so the roots have something to grab.

Monday to Saturday, 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM

Same yard, before and after

This front yard was mostly dead grass and pine needles. Here's the same yard after we cleared it, graded it and laid new sod right up to the driveway.

Why homeowners go with sod

  • You can walk on it in days and use it in a few weeks, instead of babying seed all season.
  • It holds the soil in place on slopes and around new construction, so the next storm doesn't wash it out.
  • A thick mat of grass leaves weeds a lot less room than thin seeded patches do.
  • The whole house looks finished the day the last roll goes down.

How a sod job goes

01

We walk the yard with you, measure it, and talk through grass type and any problem spots, then give you a price.

02

We clear out the old grass, weeds and debris with our own equipment and haul it off.

03

We grade the yard so water drains away from the house, then work the soil so the roots can take hold.

04

We lay the rolls tight with staggered seams, cut clean edges along beds and walks, and go over watering with you before we leave.

Why Green Relief

  • We grade and prep before we lay, which is what decides how the lawn looks next year.
  • Our own skid steer and equipment, so clearing and grading don't wait on anyone else.
  • We can add irrigation, beds or a patio in the same visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of sod do you install?

We install Bermuda sod, which handles our summers well and fills in thick. If your yard has a lot of shade or you have something else in mind, tell us at the estimate and we'll talk through what makes sense for that spot.

Do you prep the ground first?

Yes, and it's the part we spend the most time on. We clear the old grass and debris, grade so water runs away from the house, and work the soil before any sod goes down. Laying sod on bad ground is how you end up with a lumpy lawn that struggles.

How soon can we use the lawn?

Light foot traffic is fine within a few days. Give it a few weeks of regular watering before kids and dogs are running on it every day, so the roots can knit into the soil. We'll walk you through a watering schedule before we leave.

What areas do you install sod in?

We install sod across Chattanooga, TN and Northwest Georgia, including East Brainerd, Hixson, Ooltewah, Signal Mountain, Ringgold, Fort Oglethorpe and Chickamauga. If you're nearby and don't see your town, give us a call and ask.
