If you have the need for sod installation
and you are in the Columbia, South Carolina
Area, you are probably wondering about the
prices, what landscaping company is best for
your needs,
how to lay sod, or when to install new
grass.
The cost to
lay sod differs by each yard situation and
variety of grass. To
simply have the sod delivered and have a
crew lay out the turf rolls or squares for
you, the prices are more close from
contractor to landscaping company. In
contrast, if a lot of ground prep is needed
or if the old lawn needs to be removed there
can be a vast difference in price because
some companies have lower overhead,
particularly companies that will not be
there a year from now.
Quality
service, grade of the product and overall
transaction experience can easily overshadow
the benefits you might have of saving money
on the installation of new grass.
Since contractors vary so widely, you may
want to consider paying the contractor with
the "higher" price...in the end you might be
glad you did. Bad installs that were
done for cheap price are abundant.
What can go wrong? For starters, what
are the workers like; are they trustworthy?
Are they legally in the United States?
Do you want these people on your property
working for you?
Will they level the ground to your liking
before laying the sod? These are all
extremely important considerations.
The best time
to lay sod is in the spring. That way,
the root system has the maximum amount of
time in that growth season to take root and
establish. The worst time to lay sod
is when it is dormant in the Winter.
Most supplies of farm grown grass start
greening up around March.
