We Specialize In New Lawn Installation Using Sod

Searching for new lawn installation near me?

Have you just built a new home and now want the property graded and a front and back lawn installed?  Do you have an existing lawn that has been neglected and you’re tired of looking at the patchy, brown eyesore on your property?

Are you hosting an important event at your property and you want your lawn to look great?  There is a lot to know about getting grass to properly take root and grow into a healthy, vibrant, lush green lawn.  It’s not as simple as just laying down sod.  There is a specific process that must be followed if you want the lawn to look amazing.

Why Do You Need A New Lawn Installed?

  • Do you need a new lawn for a new construction project?
  • Are you trying to renovate an existing lawn that is in poor shape?
  • Do you want to improve your properties appearance and curb appeal?
  • Are you embarrassed about your lawn compared to your neighbors?
  • Do you have an important event coming up and you want a beautiful lawn?

Lawnscape of CF is a landscaping contractor based out of Micanopy, FL and serving Ocala and Marion County. We specialize in new lawn installation for our residential and commercial clients using sod.  From grading your property and lawn area for proper drainage, and preparing your lawn area with proper loam soil, organizing the installation of irrigation or sprinkler systems, and rolling out the sod we can provide you with a beautiful looking new lawn.

For our clients that care about their lawn and always want it too look it’s best we also offer regular weekly lawn care services including mowing, seasonal fertilizing, and lawn weed control.

Should You Use Seed Or Sod For Your New Lawn?

This is a question our customers who want a new lawn area often ask us!  The answer really depends on three things:

  1.  How will the new lawn area be used?
  2.  What is your overall budget?
  3.  Are you under a time constraint?

If you have kids or pets that frequently use and enjoy your lawn area then keeping them off the newly seeded area could be a problem.  If that’s the case, sod is usually a better option but installing sod is more expensive than traditional grass seed.  With a new sod lawn you’re going to have a green lawn within a day or two and an even more beautiful lawn within a week or two of the installation.

It will look like beautiful grass from day one but you’ll still see the visible lines from the sod being rolled out.  It takes a week or two for the grass to blend sufficiently so you won’t notice it.

With grass seed you’re looking at several weeks until you have a beautiful lawn and in many cases it's still not really any cheaper as you need to spend more time final grading a property for grass seed as it's a lot less forgiving than sod!

If you’re on a time constraint, let’s say you’re hosting a big party or a special event like a wedding on your property and you need it to look amazing for the big day, then sod is a much better, more predictable option.

What Types Of Grass Are Available?
We have access to a variety of sod species from local suppliers.

We cannot guarantee ALL of these varieties will be available at local sod farms.  It's best to check with us so we can let you know what species of sod are currently available through our local suppliers.

How Much Does It Cost To Install A New Lawn?

The cost for new lawn installation can vary depending on, how much property grading is required, if you want a sprinkler system, and the size of the property, and more.

Small Landscape Design Cost

Small Lawns

$2500 - $5000

This would be for a small front and backyard on a typical, flat, level Florida sized city building lot.  Irrigation, edging, and garden beds would add additional cost.

Medium Sized Landscape Design

Medium Sized Lawns

$6000 - $12,000

This would be the cost for a property that was between approximately 1/4 to 1/2 acre in size.  Irrigation, edging, and garden beds would be an additional expense.

Large Landscape Design Cost

Large Or Luxury Lawns

$12,000 - $25,000+

This would be for properties larger than 1/2 acre in size.  It would include front and backyard.  Irrigation, edging, and garden beds would add additional cost.

These prices are only ball park figures to give you a rough idea as to what you should expect for the cost of your new lawn installation.  Your particular lawn installation project may vary depending on the site, the specific materials chosen, and the overall scope of work.  If you need a firm price please request a consultation so we can view your potential project, listen to your ideas, and determine the actual scope of work required to install your lawn.  After our on-site consultation we'll be able to provide you with a firm estimate to get your new lawn installed the right way.

New Lawn Installations Can Include

There is more to new lawn installation than simply rolling out some sod.  If you want beautiful, uniform, lush green grass, this must be done right!

Property Grading

Grading your lawn will include grading for drainage, and bringing in the necessary amount of loam soil (usually 3" to 6") and spreading it.

Irrigation

We can organize the installation of a lawn sprinkler system for your new lawn should you want to have your lawn irrigated.

Sod Installation

We will deliver and roll out your high-quality sod for a beautiful, instant lawn.

Frequently Asked Questions About New Lawn Installation

How Our New Lawn Installation Process Works

We’ve installed dozens and dozens of new lawns for new homes and property development in Ocala and Marion County and we are happy to get your new lawn installed properly.

  1. We start with our initial consultation and taking accurate measurements of your property.
  2. We assess the existing soil conditions and take note of any grading or drainage issues.
  3. We can install any required drainage and handle final grading.
  4. We will bring in proper loam soil or topsoil and spread as needed to ensure a uniform and level surface.
  5. We can arrange to have irrigation and sprinklers installed at the same time if you like.
  6. We then spread out your grass seed or roll out sod.
  7. The end result is a beautiful, lush green lawn!

For most average sized lawns this entire process can be completed in just 1-3 days.  For much larger residential lawns on estate properties or acreages or commercial properties the process can take longer but the end result is exactly the same.  You’re going to end up with a beautiful, lush green lawn.

If you’d like to schedule a consultation with us to discuss your new lawn installation we’d be happy to meet with you.  Please call (352) 672-8998 or fill out our online form and we’ll get right back to you.

This was the only company to have an actual person call me back in a timely manner. They can even communicate via text which is important as I can't do phone calls during the day because of my job.They are professional and know what they are talking about. They gave me a plan for the entire year with my quote and everything has gone smoothly.

Sherman and his crew completely re-did, and healed a very large yard -making it incredibly BEAUTIFUL! They worked hard, and were very kind and a pleasure to have around! Every time I go out to walk our dogs my heart bursts with delight by how beautiful the transformed yard is! We get many compliments from neighbors and friends! I can not recommend Sherman’s work (and his friends/crew) enough! They tore out a lot of failing plants, placed mulch in multiple beds- AND planted brightly colored flowers (red, pink, white Pentas blue daze, and more) The yard is gorgeous, bright, and we are very happy!! A+++ Exceedingly pleased!
