A healthy sod lawn starts with proper preparation. If the soil is uneven or compacted, the finished lawn may have bumps, gaps, or trouble establishing. At DC Valley Landscapes, we prepare and grade the area, create a smooth base, and fit the sod carefully for a clean, even finish.
We manage the installation from preparation through cleanup, keep you informed along the way, and provide a clear quote before work begins. Our focus on careful groundwork, precise placement, and a tidy finish is what sets DC Valley Landscapes apart.

SOD AFTERCARE
Caring for Your New Lawn
Freshly installed sod needs steady attention during its first weeks to root deeply and thrive. Follow these guidelines for a healthy, lasting lawn.
01 — Water thoroughly within 30 minutes of installation, soaking the soil beneath.
02 — Water daily for the first two weeks, keeping the sod consistently moist.
03 — Avoid heavy foot traffic until the roots have firmly established.
04 — Hold off on the first mow until the grass reaches about three inches.
05 — Gradually reduce watering to deeper, less frequent sessions.
