Fresh Sod and Lawn Renovation After a House Addition

House additions are great - until you look at what they do to the yard. Construction traffic, grading work, and material staging can leave your lawn uneven, patchy, and basically unusable. That's exactly what we were dealing with here.

In the backyard, we stripped out the old dead material, brought in fresh topsoil, and laid new sod across the entire space. The goal was a clean, level surface that the family could actually use - not just look at. With a ground-level trampoline already in place and a patio setup ready to go, this yard had real potential. It just needed the lawn to match.

Out front, the approach was a little different. The existing grass still had some life in it, so we went with a soil and sand blend worked into the surface, followed by overseeding. That combo helps with drainage, levels out low spots, and gives new seed the loose, aerated bed it needs to establish well.

The side yard got the same sod treatment as the back - a narrow run along the house that needed a clean, uniform surface to pull the whole property together. Even tight spots like that matter, especially when the rest of the yard is sharp.

What you end up with is a yard that works for the whole family - safe, even, and ready to grow in. No more bare patches, no more uneven ground from construction. Just a solid lawn that matches the quality of the home itself.
