Integrity at every level
Transform Your Property With Professional Sod Installation
Sod installation provides an instant, lush lawn without the wait. Level One Grading delivers complete sod installation services across Central Florida, from soil preparation and grading to laying premium sod that establishes quickly and thrives in our climate.
Our process begins with proper site preparation. We grade the area for optimal drainage, remove debris and old vegetation, add quality topsoil where needed, and ensure the surface is smooth and level before the first roll of sod is laid.
We source high-quality sod varieties suited to Central Florida's climate, including St. Augustine, Bahia, and Zoysia. Each variety is selected based on your property's sun exposure, soil type, and intended use, ensuring your new lawn performs well year-round.
After installation, we provide guidance on watering schedules and maintenance to help your sod establish strong roots quickly. With proper care, your new lawn will be ready for regular use within weeks.

Sod types
St. Augustine sod
The most popular lawn grass in Florida. Thick, lush, and shade-tolerant with a deep green color. Thrives in warm climates and establishes quickly with proper watering.
Bahia sod
A low-maintenance, drought-tolerant grass ideal for large properties, pastures, and areas with sandy soil. Requires less water and fertilizer than St. Augustine.
Zoysia sod
Dense, fine-textured grass that forms a thick carpet. Excellent for high-traffic areas and tolerates both sun and moderate shade. Slower to establish but very durable once rooted.
Site preparation
Soil grading & leveling
Precise grading to create a smooth, level surface with proper drainage slopes. We remove high spots, fill low areas, and ensure water flows away from structures.
Topsoil installation
Adding quality topsoil to improve soil conditions and provide a nutrient-rich base for sod establishment. Typically 2-4 inches of topsoil is spread and graded before sod installation.
Old lawn removal
Complete removal of existing grass, weeds, and root systems before new sod installation. Ensures the new sod has direct contact with prepared soil for faster rooting.
