Sod Installation in Jacksonville Beach, FL

Expert Sod Services for Jacksonville Beach Homeowners

Living near the ocean in Jacksonville Beach comes with stunning views and a relaxed lifestyle—but it also presents unique challenges for maintaining a healthy lawn. Salt spray, sandy soil, intense sun exposure, and coastal winds can quickly stress or kill the wrong type of grass.

At Jax Sod, we have decades of experience helping Jacksonville Beach homeowners—from beachfront properties on 1st Street to family homes near Beaches Town Center—select and install sod varieties that not only survive but thrive in our coastal microclimate.

Conquering Coastal Lawn Challenges

The Beaches present a unique set of conditions that require specialized knowledge. Here's how we address the most common issues:

• Salt Tolerance: We recommend Floratam St. Augustine for full-sun properties—it's one of the most salt-tolerant grasses available and handles the salt spray that blows off the Atlantic.
• Sandy Soil Solutions: Beach sand drains instantly and holds almost no nutrients. Our installation process includes thorough soil prep and we advise on proper fertilization schedules to compensate for the rapid drainage.
• Irrigation Coordination: Many beach homes have irrigation systems that need adjustment after sod installation. We coordinate the initial heavy watering schedule and can advise on long-term settings to keep your lawn green without wasting water.

Our Installation Process

Our process is tailored for the sandy, fast-draining conditions of Jacksonville Beach properties.

1. Site Assessment: We evaluate sun exposure, existing irrigation, and soil composition at your beach property.
2. Old Turf Removal: We remove existing grass and weeds, hauling everything away.
3. Ground Preparation: We smooth the sandy surface and remove debris that could interfere with the new sod's root-to-soil contact.
4. Fresh Sod Installation: We deliver and install farm-fresh sod immediately, custom-cutting around palms, dune plantings, and outdoor living areas.
5. Rolling & Watering: We roll the lawn to eliminate air pockets and provide a customized watering schedule for coastal conditions.
