Commercial and Residential Seeding & Sodding
When it comes to sod and seeding, one size does not fit all. Each property has special needs, requirements, and considerations. That’s why R&L Irrigation takes a totally custom approach to every sod and seeding project. Our seasoned teams understand what it takes to beautify all kinds of sites, soils, slopes, grades, and landscape features. That means that when you hire R&L Irrigation for your commercial or residential sod or seeding project, we will begin by studying your site, evaluating your soil, and making sure we provide the sod or seed solution that will thrive on your property.
When is the Best Time to Sod or Seed?
Some parts of the year are better than others. The best time for seeding and laying sod in Sussex County, Delaware is late summer into early fall. This timing allows the sod or seeds to mature in a favorable climate. However, our experienced crews can change our approaches in ways that allow us to sod and seed all year long, with some restrictions. After all, many construction sites need sodding or seeding throughout the year. And any property that experiences devastation of their lawn or turf through mismanagement, adverse weather, or blight will want immediate help remedying their turf and lawn issues.

We Love Delaware Lawns and Turf
Every state and county has its own micro-climate and specialized soil needs. That’s why it makes sense to hire a local specialist who understands all the issues your property may face.
All sod used by R & L Irrigation is Delaware State Certified by the Delaware Crop Improvement Association, a non-profit Delaware organization designated to be official certifying agency by the Delaware Department of Agriculture, and the College of Agricultural Sciences at the University of Delaware.
In the state of Delaware, it can take up to 18 months to produce high-quality sod. Additionally, Delaware State Certified sod must be produced from certified grass seed that has been examined and tested by the approved certifying agencies. Even the soil used must be examined to ensure it is free of weeds and harmful pests
The seed that R&L Irrigation uses in our certified sod is grown from the same supply that is used to seed our lawns. We created a custom blend designed to thrive in the climate of the Delmarva Peninsula. Our sod and seeds produce a dark, green grass that is vigorous and slow growing.
