We are asked all the time what order a new construction home should have its outdoor projects performed.
Start by having any concrete work or patios done, which include decks. If you will do a patio in the future, but want the sod and sprinklers done now, that is not a problem. We would ask that the area for the patio be planned out in advance and we will work around it.
Next, have the landscape installed. If planting the plants isn't in the budget or the time of the year is bad, outlining the bed location does the job. If the beds are outlined, the irrigation and sod can go in based on the layout. It is important to define the landscape areas because sprinkler head placement is based on the beds. In addition, once the sod is installed, it is very tough to remove. By having the beds laid out, the sod only goes in the areas it is supposed to be once the project is finished.
Next, the sprinklers.
Lastly, the sod.
By following this order of projects, your installation will go smooth and your additional costs will be minimized.
