BullDog Sod – Utah Sod Installation and Sales

Local Sod Produced to

Meet Your Needs

Both residential can commercial properties benefit by improving their curb appeal. A great looking lawn is one of the best ways to accomplish that and, at Bulldog Sod, we are experts at creating the plush look property owners want from their Salt Lake sod. Utah’s weather is known for its extremes, and the Wasatch Front is certainly a prime example of an area that experiences those extremes. That means the sod used for your yard must demonstrate the ability to take on those weather conditions and still look good. The sod varieties from bulldog sod are selected to make sure your yard will look good for years to come no matter what Mother Nature comes up with.

Why is Bulldog Sod the

Best Choice?

Research shows the best grasses for the Wasatch Front include bluegrass varieties. That’s why we focus our efforts on those grasses for our Davis county sod, as we know how well those varieties hold up in our region. Although our bluegrass varieties hold up well to cool, wet conditions, they also resist damage from hot, dry weather. That means, for our rapidly-changing conditions, bluegrass varieties from Bulldog Sod tend to withstand any of the weather commonly seen in the region.

How Do Property Owners

Get Started?

The first step in having that beautiful new yard is taking careful measurements. While many yards are easy to measure, others present significant issues that require careful calculations to determine the sod quantity needed. If you’re having trouble figuring out how much sod you need for a specific yard, check out our lawn size calculator. The calculator provides the formulas necessary to measure virtually any types of spaces you may have in your yard. Finding the area of a circle, for example, is easy when you have the formula. The most important tool here is a measuring tape. With a tape and a calculator, you should have no trouble determining just how many square feet of sod you’ll need.

Preparing the Yard for Sod

Properly preparing a yard for the new sod is crucial. Any old sod will have to be removed. If there is only spotty grass cover, you may be able to remove the grasses using common hand tools. If there is too much existing sod Utah county, it may be advisable to rent a sod cutter and use it to remove the existing sod. Area rental companies generally have sod cutters available, which will make the preparation much easier.

Once any existing sod is removed, the ground will need to be prepared for the best sod in Utah from Bulldog Sod. We recommend loosening at least the top six inches of dirt using a rototiller. Adding compost or other nutrients at this point will help the new sod to become fully established faster. At that point, make sure the surface is level. Low spots should be filled and any high spots cut down to prevent pooling issues during heavy rains. Level surfaces also absorb water more evenly, meaning watering chores will be simplified. Now you’re ready to lay the new sod.

Now What?

Once the sod is installed, the most important thing is to keep it watered. It takes time for root systems to develop, and the sod will require heavy watering until it is well established. We also discuss this issue in our Sod Care Tips section, but it bears repeating here as well. Without water, some or all of the sod will suffer. Brown spots may develop, especially along edges. That means you can’t skip watering for even a single day, especially if we’re having one of our hot weather streaks.

Would an Irrigation System Help?

The short answer is yes. An irrigation system would simplify not only the initial watering requirements but also ongoing needs. Any irrigation system should be installed by experts prior to installing the sod to eliminate problems later. Local companies are prepared to help home and business owners determine what, if any, types of irrigation systems would best meet their needs.
