Built on Florida Dirt
Since 2004
Restoration Sod started in 2004 with a simple idea: do the work right, charge a fair price, and treat every yard like it matters. Over 20 years later, that hasn't changed.
What started as a small operation serving homeowners in Sarasota and Manatee counties has grown into one of the most trusted sod installation companies in Southwest Florida. We've had the privilege of working with homeowners, HOA communities, landscape maintenance firms of all sizes, and even installing sod for sod farms themselves.
We're not a franchise. We're not a national chain. We're a local company, owner-operated, with the same person on your job site who answers your phone call. Every project gets the same standard — proper prep, same-day fresh sod, clean work, and a crew that actually cares how it turns out.
The biggest reward after 20 years isn't the number of lawns we've installed — it's the relationships. Clients who've called us back three or four times. Neighbors who hire us after seeing what we did next door. Property managers who won't use anyone else. That's what we're building here, and that's what keeps us going.
The Principles Behind
Every Job We Take
Owner on Every Job
You're not getting handed off to a random crew. The owner is on site, checking the work, talking to you directly, and making sure nothing leaves our hands unless it's right. That's been the standard since day one.
No Shortcuts. Period.
Full removal. Proper grading. Soil conditioning. Same-day sod. We don't skip steps to save time, and we don't cut corners to save money. The process exists because it works — and we follow it every single time.
Honest Pricing
Every quote is itemized. Every line is explained. The price we give you is the price you pay. No vague estimates, no surprise charges, no "once we got into it" invoices. Transparency isn't a policy — it's how we operate.
On Schedule, On Budget
When we say we'll be there Tuesday, we're there Tuesday. When we quote a number, that's the number. We've built our reputation on being reliable and predictable — because your time and your money both matter.
Highest Quality Sod
We've spent 20 years building relationships with the best sod farms in Florida. Every roll we install is farm-fresh, delivered same-day, and hand-selected. We don't use bargain-bin sod and we don't let it sit on a pallet in the sun.
Relationships Over Transactions
The biggest reward after two decades isn't revenue — it's the clients who keep calling back. Homeowners who refer their neighbors. Property managers who won't use anyone else. We're building relationships, not just lawns.
We Install the Grass That
Actually Works in Florida
Not every grass type belongs in every yard. We'll help you pick the right variety based on your sun exposure, foot traffic, irrigation, and how much maintenance you want to deal with.
St. Augustine
Most PopularThe go-to grass for Florida homeowners. Thick, dark green blades that create a lush, carpet-like lawn. Handles shade better than any other warm-season variety and holds up well in our heat and humidity.
- Best for: Most residential yards
- Sun: Full sun to partial shade
- Maintenance: Moderate
- Traffic: Moderate
Zoysia
High TrafficDense, fine-bladed, and incredibly durable. Zoysia bounces back from heavy foot traffic faster than most varieties and develops a tight root system that crowds out weeds naturally. Great for families with kids and pets.
- Best for: Active yards, families
- Sun: Full sun to light shade
- Maintenance: Low to moderate
- Traffic: Heavy
Bahia
Low MaintenanceThe low-effort option for homeowners who want a clean yard without constant upkeep. Bahia is drought-tolerant, pest-resistant, and thrives in sandy Florida soil with minimal fertilization or irrigation.
- Best for: Large lots, low upkeep
- Sun: Full sun
- Maintenance: Low
- Traffic: Light to moderate
Bermuda
Full SunFast-growing, aggressive, and built for direct sunlight. Bermuda recovers from damage quickly and stays green through the hottest months. Ideal for homeowners with wide open yards that get full sun all day.
- Best for: Open, sunny yards
- Sun: Full sun only
- Maintenance: Moderate to high
- Traffic: Heavy
