Matching With Zoysia
Garner Neighborhood: Southern Trace
Project Location: Section in the front yard and the entire left side.
Lawn Environment: Full sun lawn for the majority of the day. The areas we are working on have an abundance of clover and other broadleaf weeds, which had taken over a once lush green lawn. Additionally, the client had some trees removed last year leaving bare areas with uneven ground.
Lawn Challenge: The client had an overgrowth of weeds in their small backyard. Wanted some grass that would withstand the sun and not require huge amounts of work to keep healthy.
Sod Type Recommendation: We recommended killing off the existing weeds about 10 days prior to the lawn renovation. Then bring in a tiller to loosen up the compacted soil, and remove all unwanted debris and tree roots while leveling off the lawn and allowing it to match up evenly where it meets the healthy part of the lawn.
Scope of Work: The client is hoping for us to level his yard out where the trees were removed and install Zenith Zoysia to match the rest of his healthy lawn. The homeowner expressed concerns about heavy equipment being driven over the healthy part of the lawn to reach the area we were working on. We assured the client we would be extremely careful not to disturb the healthy part of the lawn, we would either move our heavier equipment around it or anything that may be too large to go around it onto the walkway we can drive around behind the house to get to the side.
Interesting Challenge: One of the significant challenges we faced was dealing with the remnants of the removed trees. The tree roots intertwined with the soil, making ground preparation a more intricate task but we were able to navigate through this ensuring that the sod installation would proceed smoothly. We meticulously prepared the ground, addressing the unevenness and creating a level surface for the sod installation.
Project Highlights: The client trusted that the sod would allow them to finally enjoy this backyard area without having to tiptoe around weeds. And, the client was happy with the installation and very appreciative of the crew.
Bermuda replacing bare dirt
Garner Neighborhood: Everwood
Project Location: Backyard and partial right side
Lawn Environment: Our client just had some trees removed and a pool installed in the backyard, so the entire yard was a complete mess with uneven soil, construction remnants left behind, and all bare dirt.
Lawn Challenge: Our client was looking for a full sod installation to match the Bermuda that was in their front yard.
Sod Type Recommendation: In addition to Bermuda installation, there would have to be a lot of grading on this project to level the yard. We will need to bring heavier equipment to achieve the proper grading.
Scope of Work: Our scope of work was to provide a proper grade around the pool and level out the uneven ground. Install sod in the entire backyard leaving about 1.5-2’ clearance away from the fence and shed.
Project Success Criteria: A very important factor for our client was to bring down a large berm in the middle of the yard that always caused puddling in their patio area.
Project Highlights: The client trusted that the sod would allow them to finally enjoy this backyard area without having to tiptoe around weeds. The client was happy with the installation and very appreciative of the crew.
Win Reason: Our client decided to move forward with Peak Sodding because we were reasonably priced and the most professional from the start, not to toot our own horn, but our client even stated this in their very own kind words on a Google review.
Interesting Challenge: We had an interesting challenge when grading the berm that our client specifically wanted us to grade down as much as possible. We came across a French drain that was installed around the pool and across the berm. We graded down as much as we could while still allowing a 3-4” clearance for root growth for the new sod.
Project Obstacles: A project obstacle that we encountered was that the area near the patio had a little bit of puddling still after heavy rain. We decided to remedy this by installing a drain box in that area with a drainage pipe guiding the water away so our client does not have to worry about water puddling up in that area during heavy rains.
Customer Review: Yes, Google. “After collecting 8 separate proposals, we chose Peak Sodding to redo our side and backyard after having trees removed and an inground swimming pool installed. Not only was Peak Sodding among the most reasonably priced, they were by far the most professional from the get-go. Their quote was printed, detailed and broken down by items included. Several of the competitor quotes were nothing more than a handwritten number on a piece of paper. Work was done as scheduled, on time, with constant communication – and to date they are still working with me to correct a drainage issue on their dime without complaint. I cannot recommend them more highly!”
Matching With Zoysia
Garner Neighborhood: Pierce Landing
Project Location: Backyard
Lawn Environment: This was a relatively new build, and the back half of the backyard was not sodded. The area was mostly full sun.
Lawn Challenge: Our client wanted us to pick up where the builder left off by laying down Bermuda sod up to the shady area at the far end. They also desired mulch to be installed in the very back.
Peak Sodding Recommendation: To ensure a smooth finish, we suggested adding a bit more soil than usual to level out any unevenness in the ground.
Scope of Work: Achieving that seamless transition required precise preparation. We meticulously outlined a straight line into the existing lawn so that when the new sod was laid, it would blend seamlessly.
Project Success Criteria: Our client emphasized the importance of a seamless installation, where the transition between the existing lawn and the new sod is imperceptible.
Win Reason: They chose to proceed because they were confident in our ability to tackle the unique challenges of their backyard project.
Interesting Challenge: The tricky part of this installation was maneuvering through the fenced backyard without damaging the existing lawn as we transported materials to the far end.
Interesting Insight: Interestingly, our client had a keen eye for detail and wanted every aspect of their backyard to appear clean and balanced.
Successful Installation: This installation was a success. Looking at the backyard there was little to no difference between the new sod and the existing lawn.
Project Obstacles: An obstacle we encountered was at the very beginning of the installation, the tiller that we were using ended up getting a flat tire soon after beginning the installation. We quickly needed to gather the right tools and parts to replace this tire to ensure we resolved without much delay.
