The crew on a new buildWhat sod landscaping includes
Most sod that fails in Lubbock fails because of the ground under it. Every Berryhill sod installation starts with prep, so the new lawn roots into clean, level soil instead of sitting on top of old grass.

- Till and gradeThe ground is tilled and graded before any sod goes down.

Dormant sod, laid and watered inWinter (dormant) sod in Lubbock
Yes, sod can go down in winter. Berryhill Landscaping lays dormant sod in the cooler months.
Warm-season grass goes dormant and turns straw-colored after the first frost, then greens up when the weather warms in spring. Dormant sod is laid brown, the same way.
