About this service

New sod only thrives if the ground under it is ready and the watering is right. Because J&M does both sod and irrigation, your new lawn is set up from the start.

What affects the quote

Questions we hear a lot

Does my yard need a working sprinkler system first?

New sod needs reliable watering from day one. We can check your existing system or install a new one with the sod.

How soon can I walk on it?

Stay off it for about 2 weeks while the roots take hold.

How much should I water new sod?

We set your controller for new sod and tell you when to switch to a normal schedule.
