A new lawn is mostly soil work.

Clearing, grading and soil preparation decide how a new lawn takes. The turf itself is the last step.

What this covers

A lawn that struggles usually has a reason underneath it: compacted fill left by a builder, low spots that hold water, heavy shade, or thin soil over rock. A new-lawn request starts by finding that reason, so the new turf is not laid over the same problem.

A sound installation runs in order: removing what is there, grading for drainage, preparing and amending the soil, and installing sod or seed suited to the light. Ask for watering and first-mowing guidance for the new lawn.
