Meridian Backyard Grass & Sod Installation
We are a backyard sod installation company in Meridian, Idaho. If you're tired of a patchy, weedy, or bare backyard, fresh sod is the fastest way to a thick green lawn — and the result is only as good as the prep underneath it. We handle the whole job: killing off old growth, grading, soil amendment, laying locally grown sod, and showing you how to water it in. We serve Meridian, Eagle, Boise and the surrounding Treasure Valley, and estimates are always free.
What You Can Expect
Proper Prep
The difference between sod that roots and sod that dies is the soil. We strip old turf and weeds, till and amend compacted Treasure Valley clay, and rake a smooth, firm seedbed so roots can take hold.
Smart Grading
Before any sod goes down we shape the ground to drain away from your foundation and eliminate the low spots that drown a lawn. Good grade now prevents soggy, dead patches later.
Fresh Sod
We install locally grown, cool-season sod cut the same day it's delivered. Fresh sod laid quickly with tight, staggered seams knits together into a seamless lawn within weeks.
Right Variety
Idaho summers are hot and winters are cold, so we use bluegrass and fescue blends suited to our climate and to how you'll use the yard — kids, pets, shade, or full sun.
Clean Edges
We cut crisp borders around beds, walkways and sprinkler heads so the finished lawn looks intentional, not improvised, right from day one.
Watering Plan
New sod lives or dies in the first two weeks. We make sure your sprinklers reach every corner and leave you a simple watering schedule to get it rooted.
Pet & Kid Ready
We choose durable, traffic-tolerant blends and lay them tight so the lawn can stand up to dogs, sprinklers, and backyard games once it's established — not just look good in photos.
Cleanup Included
We haul off the old turf, sod scraps, and debris and leave your yard tidy. You get a finished lawn to enjoy, not a pile of cleanup to handle yourself.
What Sod Installation Actually Involves
A real sod job is mostly groundwork. We remove the existing surface, address drainage and grade, then loosen and amend the soil because new roots can't push into hardpan. Once the base is smooth and firm, we lay sod in a brick-style pattern, press the seams tight, roll it for soil contact, and trim the edges. The visible part takes a day; the prep is what makes it last. Skipping that prep is exactly why so many DIY sod jobs brown out by August.
