Professional Sod Installation

Instant Green Lawns

Expert Sod Installation for Beautiful Results

There is no faster way to transform a bare, patchy, or worn-out yard than with professional sod installation. At Dunn Irrigation and Landscapes LLC, we help homeowners and property managers throughout Attalla, AL achieve the lush, green lawn they have been wanting, often in a single day. Unlike seeding, which can take weeks or months to fill in and requires constant attention, sod gives you an established lawn almost immediately, ready for use within just a few weeks of installation.

The success of any sod installation depends heavily on what happens before the first roll is laid. Our process starts with thorough soil preparation, which is the most critical step in ensuring long-term lawn health. We remove existing weeds, debris, and old turf, then grade the surface to promote proper drainage away from your home's foundation. Next, we amend the soil with organic matter and nutrients, addressing the heavy clay conditions that are common across Etowah County and the Attalla area. This preparation ensures that the sod roots establish quickly and deeply, giving you a lawn that looks great and stands up to Alabama's summer heat.

• Complete removal of existing turf, weeds, and debris
• Precision grading for proper drainage and a level surface
• Soil testing and amendment with compost and nutrients
• Premium Bermuda, Zoysia, and tall fescue sod varieties
• Tight-seam installation with staggered joints for seamless coverage
• Rolling and initial deep watering on installation day
• Detailed aftercare instructions and watering schedule

Choosing the right sod variety for your property is essential, and we will guide you through the options based on your specific conditions. Bermuda grass is one of the most popular choices in Attalla for its exceptional heat tolerance, rapid growth, and durability in high-traffic areas. Zoysia offers a denser, more carpet-like texture and handles moderate shade better than Bermuda, making it ideal for properties with a mix of sun and tree cover. For shadier lawns or properties in cooler microclimates, we also install tall fescue, which maintains its green color further into the fall and winter months.

Once we have selected the right variety and prepared your soil, installation moves quickly. Our crew lays each roll in a brick-like staggered pattern, ensuring tight seams with no gaps or overlaps. We trim precisely around beds, walkways, driveways, and other obstacles for a clean, finished appearance. After installation, we roll the entire lawn to press the sod firmly against the soil surface for maximum root-to-soil contact, then apply a thorough initial watering. Before we leave, you will receive a detailed watering schedule and aftercare guide that walks you through the first few weeks, the most important period for root establishment.
