New Construction Sod Installation: What Florida Builders and Homeowners Need to Know
Your New House Is Built – Now You Need a Lawn
New construction sod installation isn’t the same as re-sodding. The soil is compacted from heavy equipment, full of construction debris, and has zero nutrients.
Why New Construction Needs Extra Soil Prep
- Debris removal – clear all construction waste
- Soil amendment – fill dirt is nutrient-dead, add topsoil
- Grading – slope away from foundation for drainage
- De-compaction – till the top layer for root growth
Best Sod for New Construction
St. Augustine (CitraBlue or Palmetto) – standard for residential. Zoysia (Empire) – drought-tolerant, less mowing. Bahia – budget option for builders.
