Sod Installation
Crew lays the sod for you, no hauling required.
Skip the back-breaking part. Order professional sod installation across the Northshore and South Mississippi for residential lots, builder projects, contractor jobs, HOA common areas, and commercial sites. Site prep, grading, sod laid, and cleanup are all handled by the crew.
Four things every install includes.
Installing sod is a quick way to improve the look of your lawn while eliminating or greatly reducing weed and pest infestations. You get an instant green lawn the day it goes down, much quicker than growing from seed. Every installation booked through Covington Sod runs the same playbook: walk-through, prep, sod laid, cleanup.
- Yard walk at the quote stage. Your installer walks the lot before pricing to flag grading work, drainage issues, post-storm fill dirt, or any prep that affects the install. No surprises mid-project.
- Site prep and grading. Old grass cleared where needed, soil leveled where it matters, and the install area prepped before the sod arrives. Larger excavation gets flagged at the walk-through.
- Sod laid by a crew that does this every week. Pallets get laid on the prepared surface, seams pressed in, and edges trimmed. The grass takes root in the same 2-to-3-week window as a self-install, but without the lifting.
- Basic cleanup included. Pallets, plastic, and trim get hauled off. Your yard ends the day with the new sod laid and ready to water.
Residential and commercial.
Installation runs the same standard whether you own a single-family lot or a 50-acre commercial site. Different scale, same playbook.

Yard walk and quote
Your installer walks the lot, picks the right grass for your sun and soil, and flags any prep work. Quote includes pallet count, install labor, and timeline.
Prep and install
Site prep happens before the sod arrives. Pallets get laid the same day the sod is delivered, with seams pressed and edges trimmed.
Cleanup and water plan
Pallets and plastic hauled off. Your installer gives you the watering schedule for the first 14 days of root-down.
Sod plus install typically averages $1 to $2 per square foot.

Site prep, grading where needed, sod laying, and basic cleanup. Heavy excavation, irrigation work, and major landscaping are handled by your contractor or a separate crew. The yard walk at the quote stage flags any work that falls outside the standard install.
Yes. Residential builders, contractors, HOAs, construction companies, and commercial property managers all run regular installs through the Covington yard. Multi-property and bulk installs get scheduled around your project timeline.
A single-pallet residential install runs about half a day. Multi-pallet projects run a full day to several days depending on prep needs. Your installer gives a timeline at the quote stage.
Significantly. Sod installation gives you an instant green lawn the day it goes down. Seeding takes weeks to germinate, months to establish, and runs into weed pressure during the gap. Sod skips all of that.
