Lakewood Ranch Sod Replacement: Fresh St. Augustine Floratam Installation

When a homeowner in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, reached out to Sunshine Sod for a sod replacement in their front yard, our team quickly assessed their lawn’s needs and devised a plan to revitalize the space. The existing sod had been overrun by disease, and it was clear that a complete removal and fresh sod installation would be required to restore the lawn’s health and beauty. Our team scheduled the project promptly, ensuring a smooth and efficient replacement process that would give this Lakewood Ranch property a lush, green transformation.

Sod Selection: Why St. Augustine Floratam is Ideal for Florida Lawns

After exploring options with the client, we selected St. Augustine Floratam sod for its lush, deep green color and durability. Known for its ability to thrive in full sunlight, Floratam is a perfect match for open, sunny spaces common in Lakewood Ranch. While Floratam does require consistent watering to maintain its signature vibrant color, it is relatively low-maintenance in terms of pest and disease resistance, making it an ideal choice for homeowners seeking beauty without high upkeep demands.

The Sod Replacement Process: Removal, Preparation, and Installation

On the day of the project, our team began by removing the old, diseased sod. Using a sod cutter, we carefully removed the existing weeds and grass at the root level to prevent regrowth and ensure a strong foundation for the new sod. After clearing the area, we removed any remaining debris and leveled the ground, creating a smooth, even surface essential for proper St. Augustine Floratam installation.

For this Lakewood Ranch sod replacement, we utilized two pallets of Floratam sod to cover approximately 800 square feet of the front yard. With careful placement and attention to detail, our team laid down the sod seamlessly, ensuring a uniform look that would establish quickly.

Finishing Touches: Sprinkler Adjustment for Optimal Sod Growth

To maximize the success of the new installation, we made necessary adjustments to the sprinkler system, ensuring the Lakewood Ranch homeowner would have even water coverage across the entire lawn. This final step is essential for establishing a new sod installation, as consistent watering promotes root growth and helps the new grass thrive.
