Artificial Grass & Sod
Installing artificial grass or sod involves site preparation,
which includes removing existing grass and preparing a stable,
compacted base with proper drainage.
Next, the turf is rolled out, custom-fitted to the area,
and secured around the perimeter.
Finally, an infill material is added and brushed
to help the blades stand up and create a uniform, natural look.
Site preparation:
Remove existing grass, weeds, and debris.
Level the ground and create a slight slope for drainage.
Install a weed barrier and a compacted sub-base,
typically 3-4 inches of crushed rock or decomposed granite.
Turf placement:
Roll out the artificial turf, ensuring the grain faces the same direction.
Allow the turf to acclimate to the sun
before cutting it to size with a sharp blade.
Securing the turf:
Secure the edges by nailing the turf to the base every 4-6 inches.
For seams, use seam tape and adhesive before securing the edges.
Infill and final grooming:
Spread infill material (like silica sand)
evenly across the surface using a drop spreader or other tool.
Use a power broom or stiff-bristled push broom to distribute the infill
and brush up the fibers for a finished look.
Sod Installation
Site Preparation: Prepare the area by
removing any existing grass, leveling the soil,
and loosening the ground for new roots to take hold.
Sod Placement:
Lay the sod rolls tightly, starting from a corner or straight edge.
Stagger the seams, like laying bricks, to avoid gaps.
Securing and Watering:
Gently tamp the sod to ensure good soil contact and water thoroughly
to help it settle and root.
Water daily for the first few weeks until it is established.
Key Differences
Material: Artificial grass is a synthetic, man-made product,
while sod is pre-grown, natural grass.
Maintenance: Artificial grass requires no watering, mowing,
or fertilization, making it a low-maintenance option.
Sod requires regular watering, mowing,
and other lawn care to stay healthy.
Cost: The initial cost of artificial grass can be higher
than sod,
but it can save money in the long run
due to reduced maintenance costs and water usage.
Installation: Both require site preparation,
but artificial grass installation is more involved
due to the sub-base preparation and securing the turf edges.
Sod installation is simpler,
but it requires regular upkeep to maintain its appearance.

Custom Spec Homes |
Customization:
Allows for some buyer input,
such as choosing finishes or making certain layout modifications.
The level of customization depends on how early
in the construction process you get involved.
Timeline: Generally faster than a fully custom home,
as the house is already being built based on a pre-determined design.
Cost: Typically more expensive than a standard home
due to higher quality materials and features
but can sometimes be less expensive than a fully custom home.
Availability: Available sooner than
a fully custom home
because the builder starts construction in anticipation of a buyer.
Why choose this option
Faster move-in: If you need a home more quickly than
a fully custom build can provide, a spec home is an option.
Personalization: You still have the ability to personalize
certain aspects of the home to better fit your needs and tastes.
Quality: These homes may be built
with higher-quality materials than a standard production home.
