Did your last DIY project not go to plan?
While DIY projects have increased in popularity and tout themselves as cost-effective alternatives, sometimes DIY can be more expensive in the long run. This can certainly be the case for expansive landscaping projects.

At Westside Grounds, you don’t just pay for our services with our sod installation cost. You pay for our excellence and experience.
Professional Sod Installation Cost Advantages
Sometimes, professionals do it better. Read on to learn more about pro sod installation cost advantages.
Knowledge
There are many different types of sod you can choose from. Without any knowledge of the market, it’ll be difficult. For example, different sods thrive in hot and cold climates. You also have to make sure any plants and flowers, if any, will be compatible with the sod.
If you choose the wrong type of sod, you will have to buy more sod and correct the issue. A sod professional can choose the right sod the first time around, saving you the sod lawn installation cost to correct the mistake.
Superior Sod
You can buy sod anywhere, including the internet. But how do you know what brand to get?
Not all sod is good quality. Weeds and insects can plague low-quality sod.
Some companies have a long lag time between cutting the sod and delivering it. The longer the time, the higher chance the sod becomes damaged and does not take root.
Be confident that a Westside Grounds sod expert will install high-quality sod from a reputable company.
Experience
Handling and installing sod can be a complicated process. You must do the following:
- Clear debris from the soil,
- Smooth the soil,
- Measure your lawn for the sod,
- Lay out the sod,
- Verify there is enough irrigation for the sod, and
- Ensure the sod roots.
If you do not accurately measure and cut the sod, your lawn may have holes. Holes are not only unsightly but can be a breeding ground for weeds. If the sod is too long, there may be bumps, which can be a safety hazard. An experienced professional can ensure that each step of the process is completed and that the sod is laid correctly.
Reduce Maintenance Costs
Sod professionals will maintain the sod efficiently and correctly because of their vast experience and knowledge in the field. This will help reduce costs associated with fixing or redoing sod issues.
Time
Your time is invaluable. You can’t put a price tag on it. It may take you a long time trying to install the sod. And it’ll take more time to maintain, mow, and water it. An expert can handle the installation and maintenance more efficiently and in less time.
