BeforeAfterPrep is the job. The sod is the easy part.
- Removal. Old lawn and weeds stripped out.
- Grading. Low spots filled, drainage checked, so water doesn't pool on the new grass.
- Soil prep. Atlanta clay loosened and amended so roots can get down.
- The right grass. Bermuda for full sun, Zoysia for mixed, fescue for shade.
- Install. Tight seams, rolled, watered in.
- Aftercare. A simple watering schedule for the first month.

Sod is priced by the square foot and by what the ground needs first. That is why we measure and look at the soil before we give you a number.
What we check before we quote sod.
Why the old lawn failed.
Shade, compaction, grade or grubs. If we do not fix the cause, the new sod fails the same way.
Sun hours.
Bermuda needs six or more. Zoysia handles four to six. Fescue takes the shade. We match the grass to the yard.
Grade and drainage.
Water that sits on new sod kills it. We look for low spots and where the downspouts dump.
Square footage.
We measure. Sod is sold by the pallet and priced by the square foot, so the number should be exact.
What a sod job is like.
Day one is prep: the old lawn and weeds come out, the clay is broken up and amended, low spots are filled and the grade is set toward the street. That is most of the work.
Sod is delivered fresh and laid the same day, seams staggered, rolled and watered in. A typical front yard is one to two days.
You get a watering schedule for four weeks. Follow it and the sod roots. After that it is a normal lawn, and we can take over the mowing.
Why lawns fail in East Atlanta.
New builds roll sod over compacted fill. Roots never get down. We strip it, loosen the soil and amend before anything new goes in.
Trees grow. A lawn that got six hours of sun ten years ago gets three now. Sometimes the honest answer is a smaller lawn and bigger beds.
One downspout dumping on the corner of the lawn makes a permanent bare spot. We extend it or reroute it before we sod.

What neighbors say.
Grantlanta did an excellent job resetting my front and back yard allowing me to keep my sanity given the amount of rain that resulted in a ton of overgrowth. They removed and cleaned everything we discussed and mulched where it needed to be mulched. All was done on time with great attention to detail. I’m very happy with the result, to say the least.
Nice people, quality work, fair pricing and responsive service. What more could you want? Grantlanta has done several big jobs for us in a particularly wild part of our yard, and they always work quickly and without hassle. We’re glad to hire them and support a local company.
Super friendly and did great work - would use again. Carlos crushed the yard cleanup.
Sod questions.
What kind of sod is best for Atlanta?
Bermuda in full sun, Zoysia in mixed light, tall fescue in shade. We will match it to your yard.
When can sod be installed?
Warm-season grasses go in spring through early fall. Fescue goes in fall. We will tell you the right window when we see the yard.
What does sod installation cost?
Priced by square footage plus the prep the ground needs, so we measure and quote in person. The estimate is free.
How long until I can walk on it?
Light use after about two weeks, normal use after a month, once it has rooted.
Can you just patch the bad spots?
Sometimes. If the rest of the lawn is healthy and the same grass type, patching works. If it is failing everywhere, patching wastes money.
How do I pay?
Installation projects take a deposit to get on the schedule, and the balance is due when the job is done. We accept credit and debit cards, ACH, Venmo and Zelle.
