When Portland homeowners picture an instant, emerald-green lawn, professional sod installation delivers faster and more predictable results than seed. CountBricks pairs cutting-edge AI estimating with field-tested craft to make sure every square foot of turf is rooted in accuracy, efficiency and long-term value.
• Immediate curb appeal that withstands the Pacific Northwest’s wet springs and dry late summers
• Dense root systems that block erosion on sloped lots common in Portland’s hilly neighborhoods
• Fewer weeds and shorter establishment time, letting families enjoy their yards sooner
Portland’s annual rainfall hovers near 36 inches, but long summer droughts can stress tender turf. Soil pH also swings from acidic in forested areas to alkaline in fill soils. CountBricks conducts a site-specific soil analysis before installation, amending the soil profile so sod thrives from day one.
