Landscape installation is where planning turns into permanent results. At Four Seasons Lawn Care, our landscape installation services focus on the elements homeowners most often associate with a functional, finished yard-sod installation, plant and shrub installation, irrigation systems, grading, and proper site preparation.

This page represents the execution phase of your project. Installation begins only after the property has been evaluated and a clear plan is in place. By separating design, installation, and maintenance into distinct services, we ensure that each phase is done correctly and without shortcuts.

Landscape Installation Starts with Proper Site Preparation

No installation succeeds without the right groundwork. Before sod, plants, or irrigation systems are installed, the property must be prepared to support healthy growth and long-term performance.

Our installation process begins with:

• Clearing and preparing the site
• Addressing grading and surface irregularities
• Evaluating soil condition and compaction
• Correcting drainage flow where needed

This preparation phase is critical. Installing sod or plants on uneven ground, compacted soil, or poorly graded surfaces leads to water pooling, root failure, and premature lawn decline. Proper site prep ensures that everything installed afterward has the conditions it needs to thrive.

Grading & Site Preparation

Grading plays a key role in both appearance and function. A well-graded yard allows water to drain away from structures while providing smooth, usable lawn areas.

As part of landscape installation, we address:

• Minor regrading to correct low or high spots
• Surface leveling for sod and lawn areas
• Slope adjustments to improve runoff control

Grading is not about dramatic earthmoving-it's about precision. Even small corrections can significantly improve lawn health and prevent future drainage problems.

Sod Installation & Lawn Establishment

Sod installation is one of the most requested landscape installation services because it delivers immediate results when done correctly. However, sod success depends entirely on what happens before and during installation.

Our sod installation process includes:

• Soil preparation and conditioning
• Proper sod placement and alignment
• Seam management for even coverage
• Initial watering guidance to support rooting

We install sod only after the surface is properly prepared and irrigation considerations are accounted for. This approach helps ensure even growth, strong root establishment, and a uniform lawn that holds up over time.

For properties where seeding is appropriate, lawn seeding may also be incorporated based on site conditions and timing.

Plant & Shrub Installation

Plants and shrubs provide structure and definition around lawn areas, but installation must be done with spacing, soil conditions, and growth patterns in mind. Our landscape installation services include:

• Shrub and ornamental plant installation
• Proper spacing for mature growth
• Soil preparation for root development
• Placement that supports lawn maintenance and irrigation coverage

We focus on clean, functional layouts that integrate with the lawn and irrigation system rather than overcrowded plantings that become difficult to maintain.

Irrigation System Installation

An irrigation system should be installed as part of the landscape-not added after the fact. Irrigation installation during this phase allows for proper coverage, clean trenching, and long-term efficiency.

Our irrigation installation services include:

• System layout based on lawn and planting zones
• Sprinkler placement for even coverage
• Zone separation for turf and plant areas
• Initial system testing and setup

Installing irrigation at the same time as sod and planting helps protect new installations during establishment and reduces the risk of dry spots or overwatering.

What to Expect During Landscape Installation

Landscape installation follows a clear, structured process designed to ensure lasting results. Once the design and scope are finalized, our team coordinates scheduling, site access, and material staging so work can begin efficiently.

During installation, the process typically includes:

• Site preparation and grading to create a stable, properly drained foundation
• Irrigation system installation to ensure proper watering coverage for new lawns and plantings
• Sod installation or lawn seeding for even coverage and strong root establishment
• Plant and shrub installation with proper spacing to support healthy growth

Each phase is completed in the correct order to protect the integrity of the installation and avoid future issues.

After installation, you'll receive basic guidance for initial watering and care while the landscape establishes. Ongoing lawn maintenance services can then take over to keep everything healthy and performing as intended.
