If you are unfamiliar with sod, know that sod is a layer of established grass. It is dug up with roots and some soil still attached so it can be harvested in long strips, rolled up, and delivered to its new location. The sooner you can lay down harvested sod, the better. Why do people choose to lay down sod? Reseeding your lawn to encourage new growth may be cheaper and require less effort, but it takes longer to get the gorgeous green lawn you want. When you install sod, you can see a finished-looking lawn after the installation is complete.
Baltimore sod installation services from Scientific Plant Service include the basic steps that are required to install and nourish new sod.

We were referred to SPS by an arborist friend when our silver maple started showing distress. They came out and assessed the problems, then set up a treatment plan. The tree is much healthier now and they have been do responsive and professional, we couldn't ask for anything more.
We have been using Scientific Plant for over 30 years. They treat all of our shrubbery and trees, are dependable, easy to work with, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend them!
I have used Scientific Plant Services for almost a decade. They have been professional and responsive to customer feedback and have enhanced their services over the years. Their field staff have done an excellent job in diagnosing the cause of any issues with my trees and shrubs...
New sod prefers a well-aerated soil that is nutrient-rich and slightly acidic, with a pH between 6 and 7.0. The only way to know what kind of soil you have is to test it. This can be done with a simple soil test from Scientific Plant Service. Soil tests are recommended for all properties to determine the soil’s level of nutrients and pH. The results will show whether your soil needs potassium, phosphorus, or pH adjustments to reach its optimal state. Once the soil is amended, you can lay the sod and know that you have paved the way for successful turf growth.
