Sod Installation
Professional sod installation for residential lawns, commercial properties, and new construction projects across the Twin Cities.
Sod installation provides an immediate, finished lawn when timing and appearance matter. Minneapolis Sod & Hydroseed installs high-quality sod on properly prepared surfaces to ensure strong root establishment, even growth, and long-term performance. From single-family homes to large commercial sites, our process focuses on correct grading, soil contact, and installation timing for dependable results.
Residential Sod Installation
Rough grading establishes the overall shape, elevation, and drainage direction of a site before finish work begins. Our team performs cut and fill operations, slope formation, and basic soil shaping to prepare residential lots, commercial properties, and municipal corridors for utilities, flatwork, and final grading.
By setting grades correctly from the start, we help control water flow, improve site access, and reduce the risk of erosion, standing water, and costly rework later in the project.
Commercial & New Construction Sod
Final grading is where turf success is determined. We fine-grade surfaces to create smooth, consistent contours that support even sod installation, strong seed-to-soil contact, and proper surface drainage across the entire site.
Our final grading process eliminates high and low spots, improves water movement, and creates a clean finish that allows sod and hydroseed to establish quickly and uniformly—resulting in better appearance, healthier turf, and fewer post-installation issues.
Sod Delivery & Pallet Drop
Sod delivery and pallet drop services are available for contractors, builders, and property owners who need material delivered efficiently to the jobsite. We coordinate delivery timing, access, and placement to keep projects moving and minimize handling on site.
Whether supporting a full installation or material-only delivery, we help ensure sod arrives fresh and ready for placement.
Why Proper Sod Installation Matters
Successful sod installation depends on more than just laying grass. Proper grading, soil preparation, and installation technique help sod root faster, drain correctly, and resist erosion or shifting after installation.
That’s why sod installation is always coordinated with site preparation and final grading to ensure long-term performance.
