Choosing A Suitable Contractor For Sod Work

By Donna Mitchell


When you want to establish an amazing lawn on your property, whether commercial or residential, there are four options at your disposal. The first is to install a synthetic lawn. The second is to plant grass seeds to establish a natural grass lawn. The third option is to plant grass cuttings to establish the lawn. Lastly, you can install sod or a roll-on lawn. Obviously, you will need to hire the best service provider to handle the sod work if you want to get the best results.

Whenever you need your landscape worked on, the right contractor to hire for the job is a landscaper. There are many landscaping contractors in every suburb, town, city or county, so you can easily compile a list of the best contractors in the city. Ideally, you should not be in a hurry to commit yourself as you have to consider all the necessary factors before hiring a given contractor.

The amount of experience different contractors have in the industry should be compared. Obviously, you are looking for the most experienced service providers. Therefore, you need to take some time to compare the years of experience that different contractors have before making your final decision. Special consideration should always be given to the most experienced lawn installers in the city.

Sod is normally created by germinating grass seeds in a tray. When the seeds germinate, the roots get tangled up against each other, creating a grass carpet of sorts. Once the grass grows to a decent height, the instant lawn can be shipped to the client. Another option is to grow grass seeds on a patch of land and use a sod harvester to harvest the grass after a couple of months.

The installation cost of the turf material will depend on a variety of factors. For starters, the type of grass seeds you pick will determine the cost. Seed varieties that take long to germinate and mature are usually more costly. The total area the instant turf will cover will also determine the cost of turf. Obviously, your choice of supplier will have an impact on the cost, so be sure to keep this in mind during your search.

Since different service providers will quote varying rates for the installation service, you need to request quotes and do a comparison. Any firm that refuses to quote their price should be avoided. A comparison of the estimated costs will help you to pick the right contractor for the job. Ideally, you should not be in a rush to pick a contractor before you do this comparison.

Before instant turf can be installed, the ground or yard where the turf will be installed must be cleared. The top soil must also be loosened and organic fertilizers added. The entire area must then be soaked in water in preparation for the turf. Once ready, the turf can be installed. After installation, the entire area must be soaked in water. After a few hours, the roots of the grass would have penetrated the surface of the ground. The lawn will be ready for use in just 24 hours.

When choosing a contractor, be sure to pay attention to the validity of their license. You want to hire a firm that has a valid license from local authorities. Licensed contractors have met all professional and legal requirements, so they can offer quality services. The license must be issued by local authorities and must not have expired.
