How much does sod installation cost in Kennesaw and West Cobb?

Sod installation in West Cobb typically runs $4 to $6 per square foot installed for a full-service job including dead-lawn removal, screened topsoil, grading, sod material (Zeon Zoysia or TifTuf Bermuda), and cleanup. Small patch repairs run less per square foot. Pricing is set at the in-person estimate based on lot access, slope, and cultivar.

Which sod cultivar should I install — Zeon Zoysia or TifTuf Bermuda?

Zeon Zoysia is the premium choice for shaded West Cobb yards — dense, soft, dark green, holds up in partial sun. TifTuf Bermuda is better for full-sun lots and higher-traffic yards. Roots Up recommends the cultivar during the in-person estimate based on your actual sun exposure, not a generic sod-market default.

Can Roots Up replace dead sections of my lawn without redoing the whole yard?

Yes — sod patch installs are common on West Cobb Bermuda and Zoysia lawns after dog wear, drought stress, or fungus damage. Roots Up removes the dead section, amends the soil, matches the cultivar to your existing lawn, and installs fresh sod. Priced per project, usually smaller than a full re-sod.

What mulch options does Roots Up install?

Roots Up installs three mulch types across West Cobb properties: hardwood mulch (classic look, breaks down into soil), pine bark (longer-lasting, deeper color), and pine straw (the West Cobb regional standard, natural texture). Which one fits depends on your beds, aesthetic, and how often you want to refresh. Set at the estimate.

How often should mulch beds be refreshed?

Most West Cobb bed refreshes happen once a year in spring — hardwood loses depth and color by month 10-12, pine bark holds longer, pine straw fluffs and stays presentable for 8-10 months. Roots Up can build a scheduled bed refresh into your turf care or maintenance package, or handle it as a one-time project.

Can Roots Up install a new bed or bed line from scratch?

Yes — bed renovations are a core Roots Up install service. That includes cutting a new bed line, killing off existing turf, laying weed fabric where appropriate, amending soil, and installing mulch or plants. Bed lines are set to work with your existing landscape rhythm and lot geometry, not a generic template.

How long does new sod take to establish?

Fresh sod in West Cobb typically roots in within 14 to 21 days when watered on the schedule Roots Up provides after install (heavy first week, tapering over three weeks). Full establishment — where the sod resists a firm pull and can be mowed — happens around day 21. Every install ships with a written watering schedule.
