Why Sod Installation Is a Great Choice for Your Florida Yard
One of the biggest benefits of sod is how quickly it establishes a new lawn. Unlike seeding, which can take weeks or months, sod gives your yard a huge head start toward becoming a beautiful outdoor space.
A healthy lawn can help stabilize your soil and reduce erosion, while also keeping your yard cooler in the summer. With sod, you’re on your way to enjoying a fuller, greener lawn as it takes root and grows.
Here are a few more reasons why sod installation is an excellent choice for your lawn:
- Helps prevent weeds
- Saves water once established
- A clean space for kids and pets
- Boosts curb appeal and home value
- Helps fix bare spots or damaged grass

Which Type of Sod is Most Suitable for Your Yard’s Needs?
Not all sod is the same! In fact, choosing the right type for your yard depends on factors such as sun exposure, foot traffic, and maintenance needs. Our highly-trained and certified technicians will work with you to determine what sod is best for your property.
Because our sod is locally grown in Florida sod, it is ideally suited for our climate. Here are the types of sod we offer:

St. Augustine
This sod thrives in our warm, humid climate. It tolerates shade better than most grass types and has soft, thick blades, giving it a full appearance.

Zoysia
Zoysia has a dense, soft texture with a vibrant green color. It handles moderate shade and high foot traffic and is low-maintenance with good drought tolerance.
Don’t worry if you don’t know which sod is right for you. In fact, our team can help you pick the perfect option for a lawn that looks great and lasts. So, contact Sunrise Sod Services today for expert sod installation!
