We believe that all steps are is equally as important but the sod removal process is very crucial to the success of your lawn. There are many important steps that we make sure that takes place on every project. Leaving proper slopes and grades for runoff is just as important as completely removing the top layer of overburden before installing the grass.
Before we even start the removal process we begin with a pre-spray. We spray the entire areas that are being replaced with a professional weedkiller. We allow this chemical to sit for up to seven days so that it penetrates the root systems. This important to let the chemical penetrate the root system so that it kills not only the surface weeds but stuff underneath the soil.
Once the chemical set we are ready to begin the removal process. We’ll start by flagging all the sprinkler heads to make sure we don’t damage any during the removal. Will set our sod cutter at a 1 inch depth and cut the entire area.

Will also take our machines and hand tools to clean up all the edges of concrete and flower bed borders that are she was unable to.
