As spring approaches, now is the perfect time to start planning your landscape. While greener days may feel far away, the choices you make now will determine how successful your lawn is once the growing season begins.
At Dayton Valley Turf, we know that sod isn’t one-size-fits-all. Soil conditions, sun exposure, water availability, and how you use your lawn all play a role in choosing the right turf. That’s why we offer a range of sod options, and why planning ahead is key.
This guide walks you through everything you need to know before placing your spring sod order.
Understanding Our Sod Options

Preparing Your Landscape Before Installation
Ordering sod is just one part of the process. For the best results, your site should be fully prepared before installation.
We recommend starting with a thorough evaluation of your site to ensure the best possible results. Testing and improving soil quality is essential, as your sod needs to establish strong roots. Removing old weeds and debris helps create a clean, receptive surface for new sod. Proper grading and drainage should also be addressed to prevent water pooling or runoff, both of which can lead to poor root development and long-term issues. In addition, checking irrigation coverage and efficiency ensures that water is distributed evenly across the lawn, preventing dry spots or overwatering. Healthy soil combined with correct hydration practices forms the foundation of a successful, long-lasting lawn.
