Sod install

Don't wait for a lawn. Enjoy one now. Fresh sod gives you a thick, green yard in days, not months. AllStar Ground Works, LLC. offer Centipede, Bermuda, Zoyia, and St. Augustine installs

If you're tired of looking at dirt, weeds, or patchy grass, sod is the fastest way to transform your yard. We properly prepare the ground, install fresh sod, and make sure we give you the proper information so you can make sure it takes root. This creates a thick and healthy lawn that will last. Here is little about the sod options we offer:

Centipede grass is a low-maintenance, warm-season grass. It is ideal for acidic soils in sunny to partly shady spots. Known for its light green color, infrequent mowing needs, and spreading stolons, though it tolerates little traffic and needs proper soil pH (around 5.5) and low phosphorus. Key advice includes mowing low (1-2 inches), fertilizing minimally with low-N fertilizer (like 5-0-15 in spring), and addressing potential issues like high pH or nematodes through soil testing at local Extension offices.

Bermudagrass (Cynodon species) is a fine to medium textured, warm-season turfgrass that spreads by both stolons and rhizomes rapidly. It has excellent heat, drought, and salt tolerance but does not do well in shade. Bermudagrass is the most widely used species on athletic fields and golf course fairways / tee boxes due to its high wear tolerance and rapid recovery.

Zoysia grass (Zoysia) is a warm-season grass that spreads by rhizomes to produce a very dense, wear-resistant turf. It is best adapted to the Piedmont and Coastal Plain regions of North Carolina, but some of the more cold tolerant cultivars can be grown in the western part of the state as well.

St. Augustine grass (Stenotaphrum secundatum) is a warm-season grass with medium density and medium to dark green color. Of all the warm season grasses, it is the least cold tolerant and has the coarsest leaf texture. St. Augustine grass grows best in warm, humid areas that are not exposed to long periods of cold weather. In fact, its lack of cold tolerance is the major limiting factor in determining its use in North Carolina.

Centipede grass can often be confused with St. Augustine grass. However, centipede grass has alternating leaves at the nodes whereas St. Augustine grass has opposite leaves at the nodes. Centipede grass also has a more pointed, slenderer leaf blade than St. Augustine grass. Both leaf blades are V-shaped in cross section, but that of St. Augustine grass has a more obviously boat-shaped tip.
