Grade Repair Comes First
Laying sod over a bad grade just preserves the problem. We fix low spots, ruts, and areas that slope toward the house so the new lawn drains properly and mows evenly.
Sod Installation in Wichita, KS
Fresh sod gives you a finished lawn right away, if the grade, soil, and watering are right underneath it.
Stonewell installs sod and repairs lawn grade for homes throughout Wichita and surrounding communities. Whether you're starting a lawn on new construction, replacing a worn-out yard, or fixing low spots and ruts, we start by getting the ground right.
New sod lives or dies by watering in its first weeks. Because we're irrigation specialists, we make sure your sprinkler system covers the new lawn evenly and is set up for establishment watering, and we can adjust or add heads if it isn't.

Getting New Sod to Take
Fix the Grade
Low spots and slopes toward the house are corrected first so the lawn drains properly.
Prep the Soil
Clearing, leveling, and preparing the soil gives the sod a good surface to root into.
Water It Right
We make sure the irrigation covers every new roll evenly and set it up for the establishment period.
Sod Installation & Lawn Grade Repair in Wichita, KS
New sod is the fastest way to a finished lawn. Here's what we do to make sure it roots in and stays healthy.
Soil Preparation
Clearing old turf and debris, leveling, and preparing the soil gives new sod good contact with the ground underneath, which is what it needs to root quickly.
Choosing the Right Grass
In the Wichita area, tall fescue is popular for its year-round color and shade tolerance, while warm-season grasses like bermuda and zoysia handle heat and heavy use. We'll help you choose based on sun, shade, and how you use the lawn.
Watering New Sod
New sod needs frequent, even watering for its first few weeks. We check your sprinkler coverage across the new lawn, adjust or add heads if needed, and set the controller for establishment, then explain how to scale back once it's rooted.

What Type of Sod Grows Best in Wichita?
Tall fescue and warm-season grasses like bermuda and zoysia are common in the Wichita area. The right choice depends on sun, shade, and how you use the yard, and we'll help you pick.
How Often Should New Sod Be Watered?
New sod needs frequent watering at first, then less as it roots in. We set up your irrigation schedule for establishment and explain how to adjust it.
Can You Fix Low Spots in My Lawn?
Yes. Grade repair for low spots, ruts, and uneven areas is part of what we do, often combined with new sod.
When Is the Best Time to Lay Sod in Kansas?
Sod can be installed through much of the growing season. Spring and fall are generally the easiest times for new sod to establish, and timing can depend on the grass type.
Can You Install Sod After a Sprinkler or Drainage Project?
Yes. We regularly restore yards with new sod after installing irrigation or drainage, so the lawn is finished when the project is done.
