USA Sod & Landscaping — Miami, FL · 25.76°N
We are a Miami lawn crew, and sod is all we think about. Most lawns we see fail for boring reasons: the wrong grass for the shade, soil that was never graded, sprinklers that miss whole corners. We strip the old lawn down to dirt, fix the grade so summer storms drain instead of puddle, then lay fresh-cut sod the same day it arrives. St. Augustine for sun, Zoysia for shade, Bermuda where it gets walked on. After the lay we hand you a watering schedule written for your yard, not a generic printout, and we come back to check the seams. A lawn is the first thing people see. We make it the thing they remember.
Full tear-out and re-sod: we kill or strip the old turf, rough-grade the soil, fine-grade for drainage, then lay fresh pallets of St. Augustine Floratam, Empire Zoysia, or Bermuda, rolled tight and watered in. Most residential lawns are done in one day. You get a 14-day watering plan and a seam check on day 10.
Planting plans drawn for South Florida reality: salt-tolerant, hurricane-sensible, and sized for how plants look in three years, not three weeks. Curved beds with clean edges, mulch or rock, palms and native shrubs placed for shade and sight lines. We design it, we plant it, we stand behind it.
Miami lawns die two ways: no water in March, too much in August. We install and tune rotor and spray zones with head-to-head coverage, add rain sensors, and fix the low spots with French drains and downspout reroutes so standing water stops drowning your grass every storm season.
For lawns that are half weeds and half hope: selective re-sodding of dead zones, topdressing to smooth ruts, and regrading where mowers scalp. We match your existing grass variety so the patches disappear instead of looking like a quilt. Chinch bug and fungus damage assessed before we quote.
Storefronts, offices, and HOA common areas: scheduled installs with minimal disruption, phased so your business stays open. We handle the paperwork your property manager asks for and keep the edges crisp between visits. One point of contact, photo updates after every phase.
Sample projects — concept illustrations, not real client work
A tired, patchy yard stripped to bare soil in the morning and green by sunset. We regraded a low corner that held water every August, laid Empire Zoysia for the shaded half and Floratam for the sun, and set the sprinklers to run before dawn so the leaves dry by noon. The owners mowed it for the first time eleven days later.
A blank courtyard turned into a shade garden: curved beds edged in steel, a stone path that actually leads somewhere, and palms planted with room to grow instead of crowded against the fence. Sod went in last so the beds set first. Three plant layers — canopy, shrubs, groundcover — so it looks finished from every window.
A retail frontage that had to stay open while we worked: sod laid in sections over two mornings, beds refreshed with mulch, and irrigation retuned so the sidewalk stays dry. Phased plan, photo updates after each visit, and edges that stay crisp between maintenance rounds.
