Our sod installation services ensure your new lawn is not only visually stunning but also designed to thrive. We carefully select the best grass varieties for your property, considering factors like soil type, sun exposure, and climate.
From preparing the soil to laying the sod and providing essential aftercare tips, our team delivers a seamless process that guarantees long-term success. Whether you’re starting fresh with new construction or revitalizing an existing yard, our expert approach ensures a durable, low-maintenance lawn you’ll love.

Property Docktors is a landscaping contractor based out of Lenoir City, Tennessee and serving Loudon County including Farragut, Kahite, Kingston, Knoxville, Loudon, Rarity Bay, and Tellico Village. We specialize in new lawn installation for our residential and commercial clients using grass seed, installing new high-quality sod.

Should You Use Seed Or Sod For Your New Lawn?
This is a question our customers who want a new lawn area often ask us! The answer really depends on three things:
-
- How will the new lawn area be used?
- What is your overall budget?
- Are you under a time constraint?
If you have kids or pets that frequently use and enjoy your lawn area then keeping them off the newly seeded area could be a problem. If that’s the case, sod is usually a better option but installing sod is more expensive than traditional grass seed. With a new sod lawn you’re going to have a green lawn within a day or two and an even more beautiful lawn within a week or two of the installation.
It will look like beautiful grass from day one but you’ll still see the visible lines from the sod being rolled out. It takes a week or two for the grass to blend sufficiently so you won’t notice it.
With grass seed you’re looking at several weeks until you have a beautiful lawn and in many cases it's still not really any cheaper as you need to spend more time final grading a property for grass seed as it's a lot less forgiving than sod!
If you’re on a time constraint, let’s say you’re hosting a big party or a special event like a wedding on your property and you need it to look amazing for the big day, then sod is a much better, more predictable option.

Here's What They Say
Amazing finished project, and the stone crafter that he used… Joshua was above expectations. He addressed my wants with regard to color and symmetry to match up to existing stone. The connection was flawless. I only wish I had more projects for them to do! I cannot recommend the professionalism and the quality of work enough. You will not be disappointed!!
Property Docktors is GREAT! Sam was friendly and arrived with his team on time. They did a great job and will definitely use them again.
Our experience working with Property Docktors and Sam was fantastic. Sam has great communication skills; he’s quick to respond to questions, quote requests, and contract changes. We shared with him the priorities we set with our plantings – things like low maintenance, deer resistant, drought resistant, flowering, a mix of colors, etc. - and then he used his experience and expertise to recommend the right plants that would thrive in the various light and moisture conditions of our yard. He and his crew showed up when scheduled, first thing in the morning, ready to work quickly and efficiently, and they planted about 140 plants in one day! Of course, this is everything you’d expect from a contractor, but it is not necessarily something others provide. We are very happy with the job Property Docktors did on our yard and would not hesitate to recommend him to our neighbors and friends.
Sam Sparks was a good communicator, always answered us either by text or email and followed up with our requests. He was willing to work with us on the modification of our project to save money. He also suggested better alternatives for the project that we never thought about. Sam was the curliest blonde hair contractor we ever met:)
We just bought a new home and our neighbor was having landscaping work done. We stopped by to see the beautiful stone steps and retaining walls that Property Docktors had installed. We saw that the work was being done with care and the project was finished on time. My husband and I were so impressed we asked for a quote for our yard. We had retaining walls that were not installed correctly, we were in need of stone steps to replace some treacherous railroad tie steps and the yard needed lots of TLC. Sam came to see us and listened to what we needed. He was very helpful in explaining the best way to approach the project. He gave us a proposal within a day and started the project promptly. They started the day they promised and finished the project a day early. The final outcome exceeded our expectations! The retaining walls around our driveway are gorgeous. What a difference it has made to the curb appeal of our home. It went from decent to fabulous. I was expecting it to be great and it was better! When I saw how hard the guys worked to put in the foundations of the walls and dig the steps (as well as planting the shrubs) I knew we had gotten a great deal for the money we spent. I also know that the walls are there to stay with all the work they did with the foundation area. Sam is very easy and wonderful to work with and his crew are lovely. I would recommend these guys to anyone, anytime.
Sam was awesome. He said what he was going to do, and did much faster than I expected. Would hire Property Docktors again, and recommend Sam highly to everyone.
