Properly established and maintained lawns are a life-time investment, adding to the value of the property, its safe, clean and enjoyable use and even a benefit to the environment as the tightly inter-woven plants of a mature lawn clean the air by releasing oxygen as it uses carbon dioxide, traps participate pollution and cleanses runoff water that helps restore our groundwater supplies.
Making the wrong decisions when a lawn is established will cost time, energy, money and natural resources.
Making the right decisions when a lawn is established will create a beautiful, useable and enjoyable investment.

Soil Preparation: Same for all types of lawn installation: Deeply till soil, add necessary amendments and fertilizer, grade and level for smooth surface, remove all debris, lightly pack and moisten.
Seed Quality: Typically highest available sod quality, certified, elite seed. May be certified to prove specific variety. Mixtures and blends used to suit area needs.

Runoff/Erosion: Capable of accepting heavy rains without erosion or damage. Excellent control on even very steep slopes.

Usability: Low traffic immediately. Normal, high traffic levels within two to three weeks.
Installation cost: Highest initial cost.
Cost vs. value: Installation costs offset by added value of timing, usability, uniformity and visual appeal. Reduced maintenance, chemical and water costs. Pride. Highest value as green contributor. Nursery grown sod quality immediately.
