Sod Installation in Novato, CA
Sod turns a dirt yard into a lawn in an afternoon, but only if the ground under it was prepared to support it. Our sod installation work in Novato includes the soil prep, grading, and irrigation adjustments that determine whether the lawn thrives or thins out by August. We source healthy rolls from suppliers we trust and install them the same day they arrive.
Our process
We till and amend the soil, grade for drainage away from the house, adjust or install irrigation so the new lawn gets even coverage, then lay the sod tight with staggered seams. You get a written watering schedule for the first month, which is when almost all sod failures happen.
Who this is for
Novato and Marin County homeowners who want a lawn now rather than waiting six weeks for seed. Anyone whose old lawn has finally given up. If a healthy lawn is the goal and you do not want to start it from bare dirt with a bag of seed, sod is the answer.
Why Olympic Landscaping in Novato
Ten plus years of combined experience means we know which sod suppliers deliver consistent product and which do not. Fresh, healthy rolls installed on properly prepped ground is the whole game.
