Professional Sod Installation Services for Illinois Properties
At A.R. Lawn Service, we don’t believe in overcomplicating things–and sod installation shares that same philosophy. If your current lawn isn’t cutting it, we’re dedicated to removing your old grass, acquiring the proper grass type for your space, and professionally laying it for you. You deserve a lawn you can be proud of.
Many people think that it’s easy to lay sod on your own, but we have years of experience and a familiarity with the Illinois climate and landscape that aids us in choosing the right type of grass for your lawn, how to maintain it based on your lawn’s natural conditions, and how to prepare your lawn for lush, green growth. You can’t learn all that from a YouTube video–that’s why folks in the Illinois area choose to work with us.
The Benefits of Sod
It’s common for people to get sod confused with artificial turf. While sod comes in rolls of grass and provides an instant lawn, we’re planting real grass seed, not laying artificial grass. This grass will extend roots and establish right where it is.
There are many benefits of laying sod, such as soil erosion control, water retention, weed suppression, improved air quality and noise pollution, and less irrigation requirements (once the roots establish). Laying sod is better for your yard than trying to revive grass that just isn’t meant to grow there, and it’s certainly better than having nothing there at all.
Illinois-Specific Sod Services
For your sod installation to be successful, it’s crucial to work with a team that understands the local landscape and climate. Sod should only be laid during certain times of the year when the weather is moderate for effective growth. Additionally, you want to ensure the grass you’re planting is compatible with local weather conditions and soil types; otherwise, it will not grow well.
Between our lawn care expertise and our experience with Illinois properties, we specialize in providing tailored solutions specific to Illinois’ conditions and your lawn’s. There is a lot of science behind grass growth and proper sod installation that a sod installation should be aware of before starting a project.
The people of Oak Lawn, Orland Park, and Evergreen Park come to us for their sod installation because we make it our business to learn everything we need to know about a project before diving in.
The Sod Installation Process
All of this foundational work ensures we plant the right sod, you reach your aesthetic goals, and the health of your lawn isn’t compromised. The sod installation process itself is fairly simple: remove the old grass, prepare the soil, lay the new grass, and maintain it with water and fertilizer.

FAQ’s
Here are some common questions we get about sod:
Q: What is sod?
A: Sod is pre-grown grass that is harvested in large rolls with a layer of soil attached to the roots. It’s used for instant lawns and is available in different grass types to suit various climates.
Q: How long does sod take to root?
A: Sod typically takes about 2-3 weeks to establish roots in the soil. During this period, regular watering is crucial to promote rooting and prevent the sod from drying out.
Q: How soon can I mow my new sod?
A: You can mow your sod once the grass reaches about 3 to 4 inches in height, which is typically after two to three weeks. Be sure the soil is firm enough to support the mower without causing ruts.
Q: Can I walk on new sod?
A: It’s best to avoid walking on new sod for the first two to three weeks to allow the roots to establish properly. Heavy foot traffic can cause the sod to shift or become uneven.
Q: How do I choose the right type of sod for my yard?
A: The right type of sod depends on your local climate, soil conditions, sun exposure, and intended use of the lawn. In our consultation, we can help you determine which type is best for your lawn.
