Installation Tips

  1. Preparation: Remove any existing grass, weeds, and debris. Ensure the soil is well-drained and level.

  2. Measurement: Measure your lawn's area to calculate the amount of sod needed. Use the formula: length x width, divided by 2.75 to determine the number of pieces required.

  3. Laying Sod: Start at the edges and work your way in. Lay the sod in a brick-like pattern, ensuring the edges fit snugly together.

  4. Watering: Water the sod immediately after installation and keep it consistently moist for the first few weeks.

At Royal Landscape Nursery, we offer convenient pickup and delivery options for all our sod varieties. You can purchase sod by the piece, half pallet, or full pallet. Each pallet covers approximately 400 to 500 square feet depending on the variety and weighs between 1,500 to 3,000 pounds. For commercial clients, we also provide professional installation services.
