Why Sod Installation Matters in Bunnell
Instant Results, Real Roots
A lush lawn doesn't have to take a full growing season to arrive. Sod gives your Bunnell property an established, walkable lawn right away instead of the bare dirt and patchy growth that comes with seeding. A solid layer of sod also holds Flagler County's sandy soil in place, cuts down on runoff after summer storms, and gives kids and pets a yard they can use immediately. How well that lawn survives its first month depends almost entirely on how it's installed and watered, which is where a local, experienced installer makes the difference.

From tear-out to a finished, irrigated lawn, here is everything included:
Sod Removal & Disposal
We strip out dead or dying grass and debris and haul it away, so the ground is ready for a clean start.

Irrigation Setup & Watering Schedule
We inspect and adjust your irrigation system and set a watering schedule that follows current SJRWMD rules, so your new lawn roots without a water-use violation.
Sod Options for Bunnell Properties
Not every lawn needs the same grass. Sun exposure, tree cover, and how the yard gets used all change which sod type holds up best. Here’s how the most common options compare:
| Sod Type | Sun Needs | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Floratam St. Augustine | Full sun | The most common choice for open, sunny Bunnell yards |
| CitraBlue St. Augustine | Sun to part shade | Yards with oak trees; better disease resistance than Floratam |
| Palmetto St. Augustine | Sun to part shade | Shadier lots that still want a classic look |
| Zoysia | Full sun | A finer, denser texture for a manicured lawn |
| Bahia | Full sun | Larger properties and budget-friendly coverage |
Not sure which one fits your yard? We’ll walk your property and recommend a sod type based on sun exposure, soil, and how you plan to use the lawn.

Getting New Sod Established During Bunnell's Water Restrictions
SJRWMD Phase III Extreme Water Shortage
Flagler County is currently under a Phase III Extreme Water Shortage Order from the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD), which limits most landscape irrigation to one day a week. New sod needs more frequent watering than an established lawn to root properly, so SJRWMD allows a limited-time watering exemption for newly installed sod and other new plant material.
We set your irrigation controller to the correct schedule for your address and installation date, and explain exactly what's allowed, so your new lawn establishes without a water-use violation. Current watering days and rules are posted at sjrwmd.com/wateringrestrictions.

What Bunnell Homeowners Are Saying
★★★★★
Made an appt. with Harry, the owner of DreamScpaes to give us a quote on sod. He showed up as scheduled gave us a good quote and we hired his services. Within a week of hiring him they were here and installed our sod area. The circle where we remove a huge philodendron tree was 21 feet X 16 feet. Filled in and looks GREAT. Thank you Harry. Will definitely recommend you if anyone needs your services.

Great company. I used them to redo the landscaping for my entire front yard. They were fast, clean, and professional. They were even very understanding when we requested some minor changes mid-project. Don’t hesitate using Dreamscapes.

Harry and the Dreamscapes team did an amazing job installing sprinklers and landscaping, sod and mulch around our new lanai. They worked through rain and heat and bugs to complete the job on time! Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does sod installation cost in Bunnell, FL?
Most Florida sod installation projects run about $1 to $2.50 per square foot installed, depending on the grass type, how much soil prep is needed, and whether old grass has to be removed first. A typical 2,000-square-foot Bunnell lawn usually falls in the $2,500 to $5,000 range. Contact Dreamscapes for a free on-site estimate based on your actual yard.
What is the best type of sod for a Bunnell, FL lawn?
Floratam St. Augustine is the most common choice for full-sun Bunnell yards. If your lot has oak trees or afternoon shade, CitraBlue or Palmetto St. Augustine hold up better than Floratam in lower light. Zoysia gives a finer, denser texture, and Bahia is a budget-friendly option for larger properties.
How long does it take for new sod to root in Florida?
New sod typically forms enough root connection to resist a gentle tug within 2 to 3 weeks in Florida’s warm climate, though full establishment takes 4 to 6 weeks. Keep foot traffic light and follow your watering schedule closely during this window.
Can I water new sod during the current water shortage order?
Yes. The St. Johns River Water Management District allows a temporary watering exemption for newly installed sod, even under the current Phase III Extreme Water Shortage Order. Dreamscapes sets your irrigation system to the correct schedule at installation so your new lawn gets enough water without violating district rules.
Do you remove the old grass before installing new sod?
Yes. Sod removal and disposal is part of our standard installation process. We strip out the dead or dying turf, test and amend the soil if needed, and grade the area before laying new sod.
What time of year is best for sod installation in Bunnell?
Spring and early fall give new sod the easiest start, since temperatures are warm enough for root growth without the peak heat and heavy afternoon storms of mid-summer. That said, Florida’s grass varieties can be installed in most months with the right watering schedule.
