What type of sod grows best in Georgia?

Warm-season grasses like bermuda and zoysia thrive in our heat and clay soils. The right choice depends on sunlight, traffic, and maintenance preferences. We help you pick the variety that fits your yard and lifestyle best. The wrong grass struggles regardless of care.

Can I install sod over my existing lawn?

No, sod needs direct contact with prepared soil to root. We remove old turf, condition the ground, and grade properly first. Laying sod over existing grass traps it, prevents rooting, and leads to failure. Skipping prep almost always ends in disappointment later.

How soon can I walk on new sod?

Stay off fresh sod for about two weeks to let roots establish without disruption. Light foot traffic comes next, with full normal use after rooting. We share exact timing so you protect your investment properly. Rushing it only risks your investment.

Is sod better than seeding?

Sod gives instant results, prevents erosion, resists weeds, and removes the guesswork of germination. Seeding costs less upfront but takes months and risks failure. For fast, reliable lawns, most homeowners find sod well worth it. For most homeowners, the choice is clear.
