Why Sod Preparation Is Non-Negotiable

The Secret Behind a Healthy, Long-Lasting Lawn

Too often, homeowners focus only on the final result—lush, green grass. But at GreenWorx180, we know the real success of any sod installation starts underground. For the Burrell family, we took no shortcuts in preparing their front and side yard to ensure a healthy root system and long-term growth.

Breaking Up Compacted Soil

We began by Harley Raking the yard, a powerful method for:

  • Breaking up years of compacted soil

  • Turning over weeds, moss, and old turf

  • Creating a looser foundation ideal for root penetration

Adding Nutrient-Rich Turf Soil

We installed 5 yards of Turf Max Soil, a blend specifically formulated for Zoysia and Bermuda sod. Mixed with sand and organic nutrients, this soil:

  • Improves water retention

  • Enhances nutrient availability

  • Promotes rapid root establishment

Grading and Leveling

A level lawn isn’t just about appearance—it ensures proper drainage and even sod contact with the soil. We graded and leveled the area to prepare a smooth, stable base.

Treatments That Set the Foundation

Before laying the sod, we applied a strategic blend of products:

  • Starter Fertilizer to jumpstart root growth

  • Lime to balance pH for optimal turf health

  • Fungicide & Insecticide to protect new sod from disease and pests from day one

These treatments are part of our full-service approach—designed to give your new lawn the best possible start.

Installing Premium Bermuda Tiff Tuff Sod

Once the groundwork was complete, we delivered and installed approximately 1,235 sq ft of Bermuda Tiff Tuff, a warm-season grass known for:

  • Exceptional drought tolerance

  • Strong wear resistance (great for families and pets)

  • Beautiful color and texture

The sod was installed with precision, rolled for optimal soil contact, and watered thoroughly to lock in place.

The Results? A Lawn Built to Last

Thanks to detailed prep work, smart soil choices, and expert installation, the Burrell family now enjoys a vibrant, healthy lawn that will thrive through Charlotte’s hot summers and variable rainfall. It’s not just new sod—it’s a full lawn transformation.
