Whether you’re installing a new lawn to empty soil or replacing an old, existing lawn, hydroseeding and sodding are ways to install a new lawn quickly. Pearl Landscaping will work with you to learn exactly what your lawn needs are and recommend the right lawn installation for you.

Hydroseeding ?

Hydro seeding is a fast, cost effective way to have a new lawn that will turn your neighbors green with envy.  Hydro seeding costs only pennies more than the old fashioned method of using dry grass seed.  There is no messy straw mulch blowing around along with no competition of weed seeds.  Hydro seeding is significantly less cost wise overall than laying sod and is healthier for the root as it takes root in the soil instead of being transplanted.  Healthy roots automatically do better and stand to be hardier.

Sod Installation

Whether you need sod for a new construction project, a specific area of your existing lawn, or completely starting your lawn over, Pearl Landscape Services has the capability to handle all of your sod installation needs.

We specialize in sod installation for both residential homes and commercial properties. Our company has taken the time to refine and improve the process of a sod project from start to finish to give you the highest success rate possible.

Site preparation (Sodding & Hydroseeing)

Before we install your sod, we make sure that your site is prepared using the following process.

• Lawn clearing: Pearl Landscape Services will clear out all existing grass, debris (etc.) and dispose of it properly.
• Rough grade work: We use landscape grade for draining water away from building structures and general grading for core shape.
• Top soil: Healthy grass needs at least 4” of top soil to flourish.
• Soil conditioning: This is the process of cultivating, tilling, or mixing the new soil into your existing subgrade. At Pearl Landscape Services, we use power or hydraulic equipment specifically designed for this process.
• Final grade work: We’ll add the final touches with the new soil, rake it, and roll it smooth in preparation for sod installation.
• Rolling: A lawn roller or power roller is used to smooth out, settle, and firm the grade before the sod is installed.
