Whether it’s fresh sod, mulch, plantings, or turf, we want all of our neighbors, not just our customers, to have the tools to protect their landscapes during Georgia’s heat, heavy rain, and beyond.

There are many things to consider when it comes to post-care for freshly planted flowers and greenery. Watering schedules, trimming, pruning, fertilizing, and more are all things we like for our customers to be educated on so they can keep their landscape investment thriving long after installation.

Before Installation: We Set the Stage for Success

✔ We carefully assess your property’s conditions, including sunlight, drainage, and soil health.
✔ We guide you in selecting the best sod, plants, or mulch for your space and lifestyle.
✔ We prepare the site so that everything we install has the best chance to thrive.

Our landscape design team will work with you to draw up your vision on paper so you can explore different ideas and solutions and actually visualize what your yard could look like after installation.

During Installation: Attention to Detail Matters

✔ We lay sod with precision, ensuring tight seams for proper rooting.
✔ We install mulch and plantings to promote moisture retention and minimize weeds.
✔ We communicate with you throughout so you know what to expect at every stage.

Water features are a great addition to add tranquility to your outdoor space.

If you have a vision or dream for how you’d like your yard to look, we want to help! We also will offer solutions that we feel best fit your space and explain the pros and cons when you’re evaluating your options.

After Installation: Your Success Is Our Priority

We don’t leave you guessing! Our Post-Installation Guide includes practical, easy-to-follow steps, like:

  • Water smart: Daily watering for the first 2 weeks, then gradually reduce while ensuring deep root growth.

  • Mow right: Wait 3-4 weeks for the first mow and don’t cut more than 1/3 of the blade.

  • Avoid heavy traffic: Let the sod establish before foot traffic.

  • Delay herbicides: Give sod time to establish before chemical treatments.
