Our Services

Sod Installation

Instant lawn, properly rooted.

Instant lawn, properly rooted.

Sod gives you a finished lawn the day it's installed — but only if it's installed right. We strip the existing turf or prep bare ground, amend the soil, level it, and lay fresh-cut sod tight with staggered seams. Then we roll it for full root contact and walk you through the watering schedule that gets it established.

We source sod from local Michigan growers so it's acclimated to the climate and arrives fresh. Whether you're finishing a new construction yard in Hudsonville or repairing a damaged lawn in Comstock Park, we'll get you to a usable green lawn fast.

Pair sod installation with our irrigation and lawn-care programs and we'll keep it looking that way.

Frequently Asked

Where does Bernal Landscape source its sod?

We source sod from local Michigan growers so it arrives fresh and is already acclimated to the West Michigan climate.

What preparation is done before sod is installed?

We strip existing turf or prep bare ground, amend the soil, grade and level the surface, then lay fresh-cut sod with tight staggered seams. Every install is rolled for full root contact, and we walk you through the watering schedule that gets it established.

Can you install sod on a new construction lot?

Yes. Whether you are finishing a new construction yard or repairing a damaged lawn, we handle full lawn replacement and repair patches across West Michigan.
