We start with a soil sample to evaluate pH levels, nutrient content, and overall composition. This analysis allows us to customize our soil treatment plan and ensure your yard is ready to support fresh, healthy sod.

A healthy lawn requires consistent hydration. We inspect your entire irrigation system—sprinklers, valves, controllers, and water pressure—to confirm everything is functioning efficiently and covering the intended areas evenly.

We apply targeted treatments to eliminate existing grass and weeds, creating a clean base for installation. This prevents future competition and gives your new sod the best chance to root deeply and grow strong.

Using a Harley Rake or similar equipment, we break up compacted soil, remove surface-level obstructions, and establish a smooth, even grade—crucial for both sod rooting and lawn aesthetics.

Our team finishes the prep work by hand-raking to remove debris, roots, and stones the machine may have missed. This step ensures the soil bed is level, clean, and ready for sod installation.

Based on your soil test results and sod type, we apply our custom ENS Soil Boost—a nutrient-rich blend of lime, starter fertilizer, and root-enhancing additives. This proprietary mix jumpstarts root development and promotes long-term lawn health.
