Minneapolis Sod Installation That’s Built to Last

Your lawn is part of your home’s story, where memories happen and everyday moments feel a little more special. You deserve a yard that stands up to it all, season after season.


But let’s face it — Minneapolis isn’t exactly gentle on grass. Long, freezing winters. Blistering summers. Heavy winds and unpredictable weather. It’s a tough climate for a lawn to survive, let alone thrive.


We carefully prep your soil, grade for proper drainage, and install premium Kentucky bluegrass sod by hand, the right way. Then we come back, checking on your lawn in the days and weeks after installation to make sure it’s taking root and looking its best.


No guessing. No vanishing act. Just real, local professionals who care about the final result as much as you do.

Because a beautiful lawn isn’t just rolled out, it’s built with knowledge, care, and a team that’s with you from start to finish.

What Makes a Great Sod Installation?

That lush, roll-around-in-it, barefoot-on-a-Saturday-morning lawn? It starts below the surface.



The secret isn’t just good grass—it’s what’s underneath. At Sod Smith, we prep, install, and follow up with expert care, giving your lawn the foundation it needs to thrive season after season.

We don’t drop turf and run.

We test, grade, and prep the soil so water drains right, roots grow deep, and your lawn gets the nutrients it needs to thrive.


Ready for kickoff—or cornhole.

Tight seams, no gaps, no crooked edges—just clean lines and a smooth, uniform finish from corner to curb.


Only the best stuff: Premium Kentucky bluegrass.

Ready to grow in the Twin Cities weather, our sod is thick, weed-free, and made to handle harsh winters and hot summers.


We don’t leave a mess; we leave instructions.

After installation, we clean up every scrap and give you simple watering tips so your lawn stays healthy and green.


No patches, no problems.

We follow up to make sure your new lawn is rooting well. If there’s an issue, we’re back to make it right.

“Kaleb was personal yet professional, communicating clearly and answering all my questions, making the whole sod installation process easy!”

 — J. Brick, recent customer

“Kaleb and the Sod Smith team worked like dogs to get our lawn ready for a big grad party, squeezing us in last minute—even on Memorial Day. They left hardly a trace behind. Everything went exceptionally smoothly.”

 — L. Hage, recent customer

Mine was actually a small job which went awry at a very busy time for Sod Smith. In order to make it right and not interrupt the rest of his schedule, Kaleb came to my house on a Sunday morning and did it himself -- and did it perfectly! I can't recommend Sod Smith highly enough! All of them are great guys.
