A fresh lawn can change how your whole property feels. Coob’s Landscaping provides sod installation services for homeowners in Chapel Hill and the surrounding Triangle, whether you’re replacing worn-out turf, finishing a construction project, or bringing a bare yard back to life.
The work starts below the surface. We assess your yard’s sunlight, soil, slope, and drainage before recommending an approach. Where preparation is needed, your estimate can include removing existing turf, correcting the grade, and preparing the soil for new roots. Our yard grading experience helps us look beyond the grass to the conditions that support it.
We work with fescue, Bermuda, and zoysia sod, selecting an option suited to your property and how you use it. Delivery and installation are coordinated to keep fresh sod moving from the pallet to prepared soil.
You’ll see an immediate change in appearance, but the lawn still needs time and consistent care to establish. We provide aftercare guidance for watering, mowing, and returning to normal use, so you know what comes next.

Sunlight, seasonal color, and maintenance all matter. We’ll help you choose during your property assessment.
A useful option for lawns with some shade and homeowners who prefer cool-season color.
A strong choice for sunny, active lawns where wear tolerance and summer growth are priorities.
Dense turf for sunny yards, with shade tolerance varying by cultivar and site.
A clear plan for your property, from the first walk-through to the first mowing.
Review sunlight, access, soil conditions, drainage, and the area you want to improve.
Define any turf removal, grading, soil work, or drainage corrections in your estimate before installation.
Confirm your grass selection and coordinate delivery with site readiness and installation.
Lay sod with staggered seams, fit the edges, and water it in.
Review your watering responsibilities and guidance for mowing and returning to normal lawn use.
Two yards of the same size can need very different amounts of preparation. We assess the property before quoting, so the scope reflects the work your lawn actually needs.
Your written estimate should make clear what is included and which additional work, if any, is required.

New sod looks finished before its roots are established. Plan for regular watering and reduced foot traffic while it bonds with the soil below.
Have standing water or runoff? Address the cause through appropriate drainage and erosion control before treating sod as the fix.
For watering schedules by grass type, fertilizer timing and a printable new-sod checklist, see our homeowner’s guide to sod installation and care.
The cost depends on lawn size, grass selection, access, and preparation. Coob’s provides a free estimate after reviewing the property. Ask for a breakdown of sod, installation, and any additional site work.
Yes. Sod replacement may involve removing the existing turf and preparing the ground before new sod is laid. We assess the site and include the agreed work in your estimate.
The right choice depends on sunlight, soil, intended use, and maintenance preferences. Fescue, Bermuda, and zoysia each have trade-offs; no grass is ideal for every yard, especially in deep shade.
Timing depends on the grass type, weather, and your ability to water. Cool-season and warm-season grasses have different growth patterns. We’ll discuss a suitable installation window during your assessment.
Persistent standing water, concentrated runoff, or an unsuitable grade should be evaluated before installation. New sod alone does not correct the underlying drainage problem.
Allow the sod to root before normal use. Establishment varies with grass type, season, and care, so follow your aftercare guidance rather than assuming the lawn is ready on installation day.
