Santos Landscaping · Alpharetta, GA
Bare patches, new construction, or a lawn that never recovered from drought — sod gives you a full green yard in a single day. Santos Landscaping handles soil prep, grading, and installation for Bermuda, Zoysia, and Fescue across Alpharetta. Free estimates.

New construction in Alpharetta typically leaves homeowners with compacted red clay and minimal topsoil after the builder wraps up. Properties near Windward Parkway and along the GA-400 corridor see this constantly — homes that look beautiful from the street but have yards that are essentially bare dirt with a thin strip of seed that never establishes properly. Sod fixes that in a single day and gives you the full, green lawn the property deserves.
The most important factor in sod success isn't the grass itself — it's what happens before the first roll goes down. Alpharetta red clay compacts hard and drains poorly. We till the top 4 to 6 inches, amend the soil for drainage and nutrients, grade the surface to move water away from your foundation, and set the level correctly so finished sod is flush with driveways and sidewalks.
We select the right grass variety for your specific sun exposure, soil conditions, and HOA requirements. Bermuda for full sun. Zoysia for moderate shade and lower maintenance. Fescue for the heavily shaded lots under mature hardwoods common in Crabapple and older Alpharetta neighborhoods. Call (770) 366-3160 for a free estimate.
