New Lawn Installation

We Install Beautiful New Lawns Using High Quality Locally Grown Sod

We Specialize In New Lawn Installation Using Seed Or Sod

Searching for new lawn installation near me?

Transform your outdoor space with the instant beauty and functionality of professionally installed sod. Unlike seeding, which can take weeks to establish, sod provides an immediate lush, green lawn that enhances curb appeal and creates a welcoming environment for your family and guests.

Whether you’re refreshing your front yard, completing a backyard renovation, or addressing bare spots and erosion, sod installation is the fastest and most effective way to achieve a healthy, vibrant lawn.

Our sod installation services ensure your new lawn is not only visually stunning but also designed to thrive. We carefully select the best grass varieties for your property, considering factors like soil type, sun exposure, and climate.

From preparing the soil to laying the sod and providing essential aftercare tips, our team delivers a seamless process that guarantees long-term success. Whether you’re starting fresh with new construction or revitalizing an existing yard, our expert approach ensures a durable, low-maintenance lawn you’ll love.

Why Do You Need A New Lawn Installed?

    • Do you need a new lawn for a new construction project?
    • Are you trying to renovate an existing lawn that is in poor shape?
    • Do you want to improve your properties appearance and curb appeal?
    • Are you embarrassed about your lawn compared to your neighbors?
    • Do you have an important event coming up and you want a beautiful lawn?

Property DocktorsProperty Docktors is a landscaping contractor based out of Lenoir City, Tennessee and serving Loudon County including Farragut, Kahite, Kingston, Knoxville, Loudon, Rarity Bay, and Tellico Village.  We specialize in new lawn installation for our residential and commercial clients using grass seed, installing new high-quality sod.  From grading your property and lawn area for proper drainage, and preparing your lawn area with proper top-soil, organizing the installation of irrigation or sprinkler systems, and spreading the grass seed or rolling out the sod we can provide you with a beautiful looking new lawn.

Should You Use Seed Or Sod For Your New Lawn?

This is a question our customers who want a new lawn area often ask us!  The answer really depends on three things:

    1.  How will the new lawn area be used?
    2.  What is your overall budget?
    3.  Are you under a time constraint?

If you have kids or pets that frequently use and enjoy your lawn area then keeping them off the newly seeded area could be a problem.  If that’s the case, sod is usually a better option but installing sod is more expensive than traditional grass seed.  With a new sod lawn you’re going to have a green lawn within a day or two and an even more beautiful lawn within a week or two of the installation.

It will look like beautiful grass from day one but you’ll still see the visible lines from the sod being rolled out.  It takes a week or two for the grass to blend sufficiently so you won’t notice it.

With grass seed you’re looking at several weeks until you have a beautiful lawn and in many cases it's still not really any cheaper as you need to spend more time final grading a property for grass seed as it's a lot less forgiving than sod!

If you’re on a time constraint, let’s say you’re hosting a big party or a special event like a wedding on your property and you need it to look amazing for the big day, then sod is a much better, more predictable option.

What Types Of Grass Are Available?
We have access to a variety of sod species from local suppliers.

We cannot guarantee ALL of these varieties will be available at local sod farms.  It's best to check with us so we can let you know what species of sod are currently available through our local suppliers.

How Much Does It Cost To Install A New Lawn?

The cost for new lawn installation can vary depending on the method used (seed or sod), how much property grading is required, if you want a sprinkler system, and the size of the property, and more.

Small Lawns

$3500 - $6000

This would be for a small front and backyard on a typical, flat, level Loudon County sized city building lot.  Irrigation, edging, and garden beds would add additional cost.

Medium Sized Lawns

$6000 - $12,000

This would be the cost for a property that was between approximately 1/4 to 1/2 acre in size.  Irrigation, edging, and garden beds would be an additional expense.

Large Or Luxury Lawns

$12,000 - $25,000+

This would be for properties larger than 1/2 acre in size.  It would include front and backyard, edging, irrigation, and surrounding garden beds.

These prices are only ball park figures to give you a rough idea as to what you should expect for the cost of your new lawn installation.  Your particular lawn installation project may vary depending on the site, the specific materials chosen, and the overall scope of work.  If you need a firm price please request a consultation so we can view your potential project, listen to your ideas, and determine the actual scope of work required to install your lawn.  After our on-site consultation we'll be able to provide you with a firm estimate to get your new lawn installed the right way.

New Lawn Installations Can Include

There is more to new lawn installation than simply throwing out some grass seed or rolling out some sod.  If you want beautiful, uniform, lush green grass, this must be done right!

Property Grading

Grading your lawn will include grading for drainage, and bringing in the necessary amount of loam soil (usually 3" to 6") and spreading it.

Irrigation

We can organize the installation of a lawn sprinkler system for your new lawn should you want to have your lawn irrigated.

Seed Or Sod Installation

Depending on which method you'd like us to do we will either spread out grass seed or roll out your sod for an instant lawn.

Frequently Asked Questions About New Lawn Installation

How Our New Lawn Installation Process Works

We’ve installed dozens and dozens of new lawns for new homes and property development throughout Loudon County and we are happy to get your new lawn installed properly.

    1. We start with our initial consultation and taking accurate measurements of your property.
    2. We assess the existing soil conditions and take note of any grading or drainage issues.
    3. We can install any required drainage and handle final grading.
    4. We will bring in proper loam soil or topsoil and spread as needed to ensure a uniform and level surface.
    5. We can arrange to have irrigation and sprinklers installed at the same time if you like.
    6. We then spread out your grass seed or roll out sod.
    7. The end result is a beautiful, lush green lawn!

For most average sized lawns this entire process can be completed in just 1-3 days.  For much larger residential lawns on estate properties or acreages or commercial properties the process can take longer but the end result is exactly the same.  You’re going to end up with a beautiful, lush green lawn.

Sam and his team worked diligently on our project. We had them replace weed barrier fabric and install river rocks on our front and back yard beds. They were even able to accommodate us on some last minute changes and additions. The end result was beautiful and a huge improvement for our property.

I had a great experience working with this landscape construction company. Sam was the main point of contact, and he did an excellent job managing the entire project. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with. Sam really paid attention to the details, especially when it came to the layout, materials, and overall structure of the project. The installation of the hardscape elements and grading work was done professionally, and everything turned out exactly how I envisioned it. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and kept the job site clean throughout the process. Sam made sure everything stayed on track and followed through on every commitment. I’m extremely happy with the finished result and would definitely recommend Sam for any landscape construction work.
