New sod is the fastest way to turn a patchy Matthews lawn into a finished one — but the take rate depends almost entirely on what happens before the sod arrives. We strip the old material, amend and till the clay, correct the grade, and then lay sod that was cut fresh that morning.
Grass selection matters just as much. Full-sun Matthews lots do best in Bermuda or Zoysia; lots with mature hardwood shade need tall fescue or they will thin every summer no matter how much you water. We walk the property and tell you which one your lot will actually support.

Local conditions
If your Matthews lot has drainage issues, we handle those before the sod. New sod over a low spot that holds water will fail — no watering schedule fixes standing water.

Sod Installation in Matthews — common questions
What is the best sod for Matthews, NC?
Bermuda and Zoysia for full sun — they handle our heat and recover well from traffic. Tall fescue for shaded lots. Zoysia is the most popular choice for Matthews front yards because it stays dense with moderate maintenance.
When is the best time to install sod?
Warm-season sod (Bermuda, Zoysia) installs best from late spring through early summer. Fescue goes down best in fall. With proper watering we install year-round.
How long until I can walk on new sod?
Keep traffic off for about two weeks while the roots knit in, and hold off on the first mow until the sod is rooted enough that it does not lift — usually two to three weeks.
