9 Tips for a Newly Sodded Lawn
Almost all of our landscape design or drainage projects ends with either new sod or new grass seed. When these projects are completed, many clients ask how to best care for the new sod. Instead of repeating the same thing to each client, we wanted to create a resource that anyone can access. So here’s our 9 tips for a newly sodded lawn.
For new sod and sprinkler maintenance, we strongly suggest you consult with a trusted, experienced landscape designer
who can help you get the most value for your money now and in the future.

Recently, a client in St. Louis Park came to us hoping to reimagine their yard. Their goal was to install a new patio that would allow them to enjoy meals, get-togethers, and leisure time outdoors during Minnesota's precious warm months. That may have been the end result they were looking for, but after we comprehensively surveyed the property, it was clear that there was more work to do before we could identify an ideal position for the patio, let alone install it. As tempting as it can be to “skip to the good part,” a deliberate and thorough run-up to patio installation ascertained that this project would be a long-lasting addition to the home.
At KG Landscape, we love a good challenge, and the smaller lots of our inner-ring suburbs can certainly provide them. Limited space can lead to limited layout options and an imperative to maximize the usable space within that lot. However, from these limitations can spring creative solutions for outdoor living, and with this project, we and our client believe we found them. Here’s an example of how, with some out-of-the-box ideas and a bevy of beautiful plants, we were able to redesign an outdoor living space in a small St. Louis Park yard in order to maximize not just its beauty but its usability.
