Meet the Team Behind Your Lawn
One standard: do it right the first time.
Great lawns aren't accidental — they're engineered
Peak Sodding was built on a simple belief: great lawns aren't accidental, they're engineered. And every family deserves one, despite the challenges sod brings with seasonality and perishability.
What started as Owner Ben Schneider being obsessed with doing sod correctly has grown into a focused team of professionals working toward one goal: becoming the premier sod installation company in the Triangle.
We install sod, and we do it with a level of precision most lawn companies never reach. By narrowing our focus, we've been able to refine our process, study local soil conditions, master turf selection, and solve the problems that cause most lawns to fail after installation. The result is a lawn that establishes faster, roots deeper, and lasts longer.
Decisions made before a single roll of sod hits the ground
Before a single roll of sod hits the ground, decisions are already being made about soil, drainage, sun, irrigation, and turf selection. Those decisions determine whether a lawn thrives or struggles.
We built Peak Sodding to be the company people trust when they want it done correctly the first time.
We install with the full picture of your lawn environment in mind. Your Wake County soil, drainage patterns, sun exposure, and irrigation layout.
We don't rush prep or downgrade materials to win on price. Long-term performance is success in our minds.
Our team understands turf science, root establishment, grading, and water management, not just how to roll sod.
We explain what will work, what won't, and why.
Not words on a wall — the expectations we hold ourselves to on every project
Radical Honesty
We tell the truth, even when it's uncomfortable, because honest problems lead to honest solutions. We'd rather lose a job being straight with you than win one by leaving something out.
Excellence
We take pride in doing things exceptionally and constantly seek ways to do them better. There's always a way to improve by 1%, and we aggressively look for it.
Adaptability
We don't start with "no." We start with "how?" Sod is unpredictable. Weather shifts. Timelines change. We think creatively and contribute no matter the obstacle.
Proactive Communication
We communicate before we're expected to and more than we're required to. Our goal is a client experience built around ease, clarity, and zero guesswork.
Happy to Serve
We find genuine joy in exceeding expectations. We give more than we receive and shoot for "wow" at every opportunity.
The team behind every install
Ben founded Peak Sodding to change the standard for sod installation in Wake County. Born and raised locally, Ben came up through lawn care and quickly realized that most sod failures were about installation decisions: soil type, soil depth, drainage, irrigation, grading, and installation timing.
Ben leads with transparency and systems. Every process at Peak Sodding exists to remove variables and produce consistent results. His leadership style is straightforward, people-first, and rooted in accountability, both to clients and the team.
Joanna is the first person homeowners talk to when reaching out to Peak Sodding. She listens, asks the right questions, and makes sure homeowners feel informed and confident before anything is ever scheduled.
She gives homeowners a clear sense of what to expect and genuinely cares that your experience is a good one. From the moment you reach out, Joanna makes sure you're in good hands.
Curtis helps homeowners understand what their lawn actually needs, not what sounds good on paper. Direct and transparent, he walks clients through options, constraints, and outcomes so they can make confident decisions.
Curtis doesn't oversell. He educates. And he'll tell you if something won't work for your yard, even if it means a smaller project.
Iris is where planning turns into execution. She oversees logistics, timelines, and coordination across complex installs, ensuring every project runs cleanly, efficiently, and to standard.
Calm under pressure and relentless about details, Iris makes sure nothing gets missed, and nothing gets rushed. When timelines shift or conditions change, she adapts the plan without compromising quality.
Pat brings structure and accountability to every Peak Sodding installation. As a Project Manager, he ensures each job is executed according to our standards, from site prep through final walkthrough.
Pat is detail-oriented without slowing the process down. He keeps crews aligned, timelines on track, and quality consistent across every phase of the install. When challenges arise in the field, Pat solves them without excuses.
Jesus brings discipline, consistency, and pride to every installation. He believes quality is built by following the process every time. His crews execute Peak Sodding's installation standards with precision, ensuring lawns establish correctly from day one.
Jesus takes ownership of every job his team touches.
Peak Sodding is looking for team members who show up ready to work and care about doing things right. Drop us a line.
