Why Choose Sod Over Seeding?
Installing sod offers a variety of benefits compared to traditional seeding methods, especially in Minnesota’s unpredictable climate.
- Instant Results: Sod gives you a mature lawn on day one. No waiting for seeds to sprout.
- Erosion Control: Great for sloped yards and new construction where soil runoff is a concern.
- Less Weed Infiltration: Sod helps create a thick barrier that keeps out weeds early on.
- Faster Use: With proper watering and care, your lawn can be ready for light foot traffic in as little as two weeks.
- Stronger Aesthetic Appeal: Perfect for real estate listings, business entrances, or backyards in need of a refresh.
Sod installation is a smart, long-term investment in your landscape, and LNG-Hartigan has the tools and team to do it right.

Our Sod Installation Process
We take pride in a professional, efficient process that leaves your lawn looking fresh and uniform, meaning no patchy seams or short-term fixes. Here’s how we approach every sod project:
1. Consultation & Evaluation
We begin by meeting on-site to assess your existing landscape, soil quality, grading, drainage, and sunlight exposure. This ensures your sod will thrive once installed.
2. Sod Selection
We typically recommend hardy blends like Kentucky bluegrass that perform well in Minnesota’s seasonal climate. We’ll help you choose the best variety for your needs and maintenance preferences.
3. Soil Preparation
Our team clears away debris, levels uneven areas, and prepares the soil for root adhesion. We also offer grading and topsoil services as needed to ensure a stable, nutrient-rich foundation.
4. Sod Installation
We install fresh-cut sod in a staggered pattern for strength and uniformity. Every roll is carefully placed, pressed, and watered to promote quick rooting.
5. Post-Installation Care
We provide watering and maintenance guidelines to help you care for your new lawn in the first few weeks. We also offer optional ongoing lawn care services to keep your sod thriving.
