OUR SODS
We Install the 3 Types of Sod that
Thrive in Hampton Roads
Tiff Way Bermuda
A perennial, warm season grass that requires sun 50% to 75% of the time. Grows most actively in late Spring through hot Summer months. Sensitive to cold temperatures. Does not take a lot of watering, and grows very quickly. this is a good choice if you do not have a sprinkler system. Durable for dogs and active families as it repairs itself. Available throughout the year.
Zoysia
Provides homeowners with a lush, green lawn that doesn't require a lot of care or water. This easy care lawn grows best in sun or some shade. It is tolerant of insects and weeds. This is a lush, comfortable, "bare foot" grass. Good in non-irrigated yards. Available in our area from June to September.
Fescue
A cool-season option with good heat tolerance that grows well in our climate. Fescue requires fungicide and fertilizer treatments. It's deep green color is highly desirable. It requires a lot of water so your yard needs to be irrigated to maintain fescue.

- Fertilizer should be applied two weeks after installation using a "Starter Fertilizer"
- Depending on the grass rate of growth, the first mowing can be 4 weeks after installation. Mower should be set as high as possible for the first few cuttings.

Step 1: Assessment. Every drain system begins with an evaluation of your property, analysis of the drainage problems, and a proposed solution. Property owners can take this time to ask questions, learn about the process, and make special requests.
Step 2: Excavation (as required). Depending on the solution, we may dig a trench or hole.
Step 3: Installation. This might involve perforated pipe for a French Drain, a catchment basin, or other solution.
Step 4: Backfilling. We will cover the pipe and drainage system with gravel or sod, returning your yard to its previous condition.

Read Some Persistent Lawncare Myths:
“If I cut my grass short, then I won’t need to do it as often.”
Cutting grass too short actually harms the grass and allows weeds to flourish. It’s a shock to the system of the plant and risks exposing the roots to damaging amounts of sunlight. The correct length varies by grass type, so do some research (or call us). Please don’t just set your mower on the lowest setting and get to work. You’ll regret it!
“I don’t need professional lawncare.”
Some landscaping jobs (especially maintenance) can certainly be done by a non-professional. But do you have the time and knowledge to do it well? Superior landscaping can increase the value of your home by as much as 10-15%, so it’s important to get it right.
“Trees don’t add any value besides appearance”
Trees are a great addition to any landscaping project but it’s not just about looks. Trees have a significant cooling effect on your yard and your home. That means that they look great and save you money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I aerate my lawn?
Aeration helps remove excess thatch, which is a buildup of dead grass that can harbor insects and disease. Aeration also helps roots to grow more deeply and allows water and nutrients a direct path to the root zone.
What’s the benefit of a sprinkler system?
When you water by hand you usually do it a random and not on a regular schedule. So a timed sprinkler system will generally use less water and allow you to customize your watering program based on factors like sun exposure. Plus, it lets you live your life freely, without worrying about getting home from vacation early to water the lawn.
When is the best time to re-sod?
While new sod can be installed almost anytime of year, it is best to avoid the hottest part of the Summer. The cooler temperatures of the Spring and Fall will enable the new roots to take hold in the soil and the grass to grow during the initial weeks after install.
