New Home Lawn Installation

New Home Lawn Installation

From builder's clay to established lawn in one season.

New developments in Apex and Brier Creek often leave homeowners staring at compacted subsoil dotted with construction debris. Our turnkey process begins with thorough soil screening to remove nails and concrete chunks, followed by subsoiling to break up plow pans. We then grade properties to direct water away from foundations - critical in Raleigh's heavy downpours.

For quick establishment, we install certified TifTuf Bermuda sod on sunny lots and GeoZoysia on partial shade properties. Both varieties were tested at NC State for our climate. Irrigation systems are carefully programmed to phase out supplemental watering as roots establish, preventing the overwatering that causes fungal issues in new lawns.
