Professional Sod Installation Columbus Ohio
Quality Sod Installation for Long Lasting Results and Natural Appearance
There’s something about a great looking lawn that’s lush, green, a nice length, feels nice between your toes, and more. While most lawns can be treated and watered to get to this point, in some cases, starting over can be the best option. If your lawn is always patchy with mud and washed out, if it’s completely full of weeds and you don’t want to wait years or don’t want to spray herbicides, sodding may be your best option.
Sod is mature grass that is grown specifically to look great. The type of seed used is likely different than what’s currently in your yard, and it grown purposely because it has good genes to thrive. The right sod, proper installation, and good aftercare will get you a lush, green yard quickly with grass that is already deeply rooted and will last for years to come.
At Delta Landscape Company, we help Columbus homeowners and businesses get healthy, green grass instantly with expert sod installation to make their lawns look beautiful. Our team does the hard work, from choosing the right sod, removing your old grass, prepping the soil, and rolling out the final piece, we’ll install a new lawn seamlessly and without the wait.

How Sod Installation Works
Step 1:
Prepping Your Lawn for Success
Before we lay sod, we test the soil, clear out weeds, and level the area. This step is crucial—without it, sod may not take root properly.
Step 2:
Choosing the Right Sod for Columbus Lawns
Not all grass is created equal. We install:
- Kentucky Bluegrass – Popular for its deep green color and durability.
- Tall Fescue – Low-maintenance and drought-resistant.
- Perennial Ryegrass – Great for quick coverage and a soft, dense lawn.
Step 3:
Professional Sod Installation
Once the prep work is done, we lay fresh sod in staggered rows for strength, roll it to eliminate air pockets, and water deeply to kickstart rooting.
Step 4:
Caring for Your New Sod & Lawn Maintenance Tips
Watering Schedule
- First 2 weeks: Water twice a day, morning and evening.
- Weeks 3-4: Water every other day to encourage deeper roots.
- After 1 month: Water two to three times per week, depending on rainfall.
Mowing & Fertilizing
- Wait two to three weeks before the first mow. Keep the blades high—about 4-5 inches.
- Use a slow-release fertilizer after four to six weeks to strengthen the roots.
