Landscaping O'Fallon MO | Call Florissant Sod Company of O'fallon Mo

Absolutely. Proper sod installation is more than just laying grass; it involves correcting the underlying soil and grade. Our team first addresses poor grading by leveling and contouring your lawn to ensure water drains away from your home's foundation. We then install high-quality sod on this prepared base, creating a slope that directs runoff appropriately. This corrects common local issues like standing water and prevents the soil erosion that damages lawns and property.

Signs of a leak include unusually high water bills, constantly soggy areas even when the system is off, low water pressure at the sprinkler heads, or the sound of running water when the system is idle. In O'Fallon's clay-heavy soils, these leaks can also cause significant erosion or sinkholes. We recommend a professional inspection of your system's valves, pipes, and heads. Identifying and repairing leaks promptly protects your lawn's health and saves you money on utility costs.

Address the water source first. Before any grading or sod work can be successful, any underground sprinkler leaks must be located and repaired. Adding new soil or sod over a leak will only mask the problem, leading to washouts and failure. Our expert approach is to first conduct a thorough sprinkler system inspection and repair any leaks. Once the water is properly controlled, we can then accurately assess and correct the lawn's grading, ensuring a lasting solution for your O'Fallon home.
