Installation

Natural Sod Installation: A Step-by-Step Guide

A lush, green lawn starts with proper sod installation. Following the right steps ensures strong roots, healthy soil, and long-term success.

Removal

Removal

Remove existing grass, weeds, and debris to prevent interference with new sod. Use a shovel or a mechanical sod cutter for small areas and machinery for larger areas. If weeds persist, apply a non-selective herbicide two weeks before removal.

Rake thoroughly to remove rocks and level the surface. Fill low spots with quality topsoil for a smooth base. Proper preparation ensures sod makes direct contact with soil, promoting fast root growth.

Compost

Compost

Healthy soil is essential for a thriving lawn. Add compost or amended topsoil enhances moisture retention, nutrients, and microbial activity. A soil test can help determine if additional amendments like lime or fertilizer are needed. Check with your local extension agency for testing.

Spread 3 yards of compost per 1000 square feet evenly and mix it into the soil for better root establishment.

Grass installation

Grass installation

Install the farm fresh sod immediately to prevent drying. Start along a straight edge, like a driveway, for alignment.

Lay sod in a staggered, brick-like pattern to minimize seams and prevent erosion. Fit pieces snugly without overlapping. Press edges together to eliminate gaps. Trim excess sod along edges.

Till and Grade

Till and Grade

Tilling in the compost and amended soil 4" - 6" loosens and conditions the compacted soil, allowing deeper root penetration and improved water absorption. Use a rototiller for large areas or a garden fork for smaller spaces.

Next, grade the soil to ensure a smooth surface. Avoid dips where water collects by creating a slight slope away from buildings. Lightly compact the soil with a roller for a firm base.

Fertilize and irrigate

Fertilize and irrigate

Fertilize after the sod installation. Follow the instructions and rates provided on the fertilizer bag.

Water immediately, soaking the sod and soil to at least 6 inches deep. Keep sod moist for the first two weeks to establish strong roots.

Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation. After two weeks, gently tug on the sod—if it resists, roots have taken hold. Gradually reduce watering to 2–3 times per week to promote deep root growth and drought resistance.

I received 3 estimates and Jake had the most professional and thorough presentation and estimate. He came in a couple grand cheaper and allowed credit card payments without an extra fee, unlike the other 2. Benny and his crew were punctual, courteous, and had great attention to detail. They installed around 2000 sf of turf and all of the edging and rock in 2 days. It wasn’t without complications, but they handled adversity quickly and correctly. They worked a long 11 hours on day 2, but it never seemed like they were rushing or taking short cuts. Benny’s quality control and the crew’s work ethic was outstanding. The job turned out better than expected and I couldn’t be much happier. Why are you still reading?? Call Next 2 Natural Turf now. You won’t be disappointed.

I normally look for Colorado Springs based businesses for my home needs, but this is my first time using services outside of the Springs. Next2Natural Turf out of Ft Morgan absolutely delivers on their product and service. They just finished installing my artificial turf and I am more than happy for the way my front lawn is looking right now. It’s AMAZING! The crew worked hard and were very respectful. I would highly recommend Next2Natural Turf to friends and family, and I would use them again without a doubt. I did my research and the product and installation is worth the money!

We found Graff’s Next 2 Natural Turf at the Corpus Christi, TX Home & Garden Show. We wanted to remove our real grass from the backyard and replace with turf and some rock. We talked to Phillip Elbert about what we were wanting to do and he drew up a plan and met with us a few days later. We looked over and discussed the plans and were happy with the vision so we decided to move forward. We had a few delays with the installation due to the weather and the crew becoming ill (which was definitely out of their control) but the outcome was VERY impressive! We absolutely LOVE our backyard oasis!! Phillip was very professional and easy to interact with. After the job was done Phillip came out to our house to look at the turf to make sure all was 100% and that we were satisfied. We highly recommend Graff’s Next 2 Natural Turf for your yard needs.

Denise Rogers

We knew nothing about artificial turf when we started the process and after meeting with five companies, choosing Jake from Next 2 Natural Turf was an easy decision. He answered all of our questions and was very prompt. However, the entire experience was 5++ stars because of the installation. Ken and his crew were truly exceptional! They took great care in every step of the installation and made sure our project (turf plus a rock border) turned out exactly how we wanted it. I highly recommend Next 2 Natural!

Amy Skinner

A++++. From our 1st meeting with Jake to having the turf installed by the customer focused team of Ken and Team what a delight. Everything was handled professionally and courteously. We even checked with 2 other companies that specialize in artificial turf. Next2Natural offered the best value and the most natural looking turf. Kudos to Jake, Ken, and team. We couldn’t be happier with our investment and our yard looks awesome to boot. P..S. Our Rhodesian Ridgeback, Conway, gave it his 4 paw approval as well!

Kelly McKenna aka Santa Claus

Our yard was very large. Next 2 natural worked with us to get the perfect design and measurements. The crew worked extremely hard to get the entire job done in two days, and the quality of the turf we picked is wonderful. worth the money!!

What’s the difference between turf and sod?

Sod is natural grass that we grow, harvest, and deliver in rolls, ready to be laid down for instant grass coverage. Turf, on the other hand, is synthetic, low-maintenance, and perfect for areas where water conservation or durability is a priority, like dog parks, playgrounds, or commercial spaces. Both have their unique benefits depending on your project’s needs.

It depends on your priorities. If you want a natural, lush lawn for residential or high-end projects, sod might be your best bet. If you’re looking for low-maintenance, water-saving options for commercial properties, dog parks, or playgrounds, turf could be the perfect fit. We can help you decide during a consultation.

We do both. If you’re a DIYer or a landscaper who prefers to handle the installation yourself, we can supply you with high-quality sod or turf. Of course, if you need professional installation, we’ve got you covered there too.

Most projects take about 1-2 weeks from start to finish. That includes everything from the first consultation to the final installation. We work quickly without cutting corners.

We partner with landscapers, municipalities, schools, and commercial developers, along with residential clients looking to enhance their outdoor spaces. Whatever your project, we’ve got you covered.
