STEP 1
1. Old Sod Removal
Using our sod cutter we remove 2’’ of old sod (included in price).
We do not rototill. Rototilling mixes the old weeds into the new soil creating a high chance of them coming back.
STEP 2
2. Soil Installation
Supply and install up to 3’’ of screened topsoil. It is packed with the right stuff to keep your lawn looking its best!
