Get a Full Lawn in One Day

Professional sod installation for instant results and healthy growth in Ellijay, Georgia.

If you are tired of looking at bare dirt, patchy grass, or mud tracked into your house after every rain in Ellijay, sod gives you a usable lawn the same day it goes down. Elite Envisions Landscaping prepares the soil, lays fresh sod, and leaves you with a green, even surface that you can walk on within a couple of weeks.

This service works well after new construction, grading corrections, or drainage installations when your yard needs a reset. The process includes removing old grass or weeds if needed, adding topsoil to level the surface, and laying sod in tight seams so there are no gaps or ridges. You get detailed instructions on watering and care so the roots take hold and the grass stays thick.

How Sod Is Installed and What It Looks Like After

The crew starts by grading the soil so water drains away from your house, then spreads a layer of topsoil or compost to give the roots something to grow into. In Ellijay, where clay soil is common, this step makes a big difference in how well the sod establishes. The rolls are laid in a staggered pattern like bricks, trimmed to fit around trees or beds, and rolled flat to remove air pockets.

Once the sod is down, you will have a uniform green lawn that looks finished immediately. Within two weeks, if you water correctly, the roots will knit into the soil and the grass will start growing on its own. The yard becomes usable for foot traffic, pets, and outdoor activities much faster than seeding ever could.

The sod is delivered fresh the morning of installation and goes down the same day to prevent drying out. Edges are tucked tight and seams are barely visible once everything settles. This service does not include ongoing lawn care or fertilization, but the crew will walk you through the first few weeks of watering so you do not lose the investment.

Here Are the Things People Ask Before Booking

Most questions are about watering schedules, how long before you can mow, and whether the sod will survive summer heat or winter cold.

What type of grass is used for sod in this area?
The most common choices are bermuda for sunny areas and tall fescue for shade. The crew will recommend what works best based on your yard's sun exposure and drainage.
How soon can you walk on new sod?
You can walk on it lightly right away, but you should avoid heavy use for about two weeks while the roots establish. Pets and kids can go back out once the grass is rooted in.
How much watering does new sod need?
You water it twice a day for the first week to keep the soil moist but not flooded. After that, you taper off to once a day, then move to a normal schedule once the roots are set.
Can sod be installed on sloped ground?
Yes, but the slope needs to be stable and not too steep. The crew may use stakes or netting to hold the sod in place until the roots grab, especially in Ellijay where hills are common.
When is the best time of year to install sod?
Spring and fall are ideal because temperatures are moderate and rain is more consistent. Summer installation works but requires more attention to watering.
