How We Work

A sod lawn is only as good as what's under it. Surface prep, soil amendment, grade, and establishment watering all determine whether sod roots properly or struggles through the first season. Brooks Landscape handles the full sod installation process—from clearing and grading through final watering instructions.

We source sod from established Front Range sod farms and select varieties suited to Northern Colorado's climate, sun exposure, and your irrigation situation. Kentucky Bluegrass is the traditional choice for full-sun lawns with adequate irrigation. Turf-type tall fescue offers more drought tolerance and shade adaptability if that fits your property better.

Soil prep is the part most DIY sod jobs skip. We grade for positive drainage away from structures, till and amend where needed, and rake to a consistent finish grade before sod goes down. Proper prep is the difference between sod that knits in 3 weeks and sod that never fully roots.

We coordinate with your irrigation system so establishment watering starts immediately after installation and follows a schedule that gets roots down without overwatering.

Local Water & Permit Context

Severance water service is managed by the Town of Severance and the North Weld County Water District. We confirm your service district and available water pressure before designing your irrigation system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year for sod installation in Northern Colorado?
Spring and early fall are ideal—warm soil, moderate temperatures, and enough growing season ahead for the sod to establish before dormancy. Summer installation is possible but requires more intensive watering. We'll advise on timing based on your project.
How long until I can use the lawn after sodding?
Most sod is ready for light foot traffic in 2 to 3 weeks and full use in 4 to 6 weeks, depending on weather and how well roots are knitting. We'll tell you what to watch for.
Does sod installation require a new irrigation system?
Not necessarily, but your existing system needs to be able to provide adequate coverage and frequency during establishment. We'll evaluate your irrigation before installation and let you know if any adjustments are needed.
Do you serve all of Severance?
Yes. We serve Severance and the surrounding Weld County communities including Severance town center, North Severance, Rural parcels west of town, CR 74 corridor, and more. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific address.
