There are high chances that if you lay sod on existing grass, it will dry up, and not yield. Getting rid of existing soil is important but if you are not in a position to do it, you then should place soil on it, from which you will lay your sod.

We have plenty of finishes of this to choose from. The following stones can in a big way to complement your interior design

When pure, limestone is almost white in color. The one used on buildings is produced in a variety of finished like gold, brown, pink, red, and black.

Testimonial
Great service and exceeded expectations. Went above and beyond the agreed contract, maintained proper care and completed beautiful stone veneer on the front of my gas station. The landscaping and masonry work turned out to be tremendous and we couldn’t be happier. It was a pleasure to work with Fairfield County Excavation from start to finish. From the first meeting and dealings with the office, to the execution of the work and the final result ended in exactly what we were looking for. Thank you again for such a great service.
