Sand leveling job in Cumming, GA

In Cumming, GA we helped a homeowner who wanted his back yard leveled with sand. The project area was just under 1,000 square feet, so we recommended the Soil 3 level mix from Super Sod as the most cost-effective choice for a space this size. That mix is 70 percent sand and 30 percent compost, which levels well and also adds nutrients back into the soil.

The customer specifically asked for a sand-based leveling solution to even out low spots and create a usable lawn for the kids. We selected the Soil 3 level mix because it met those needs while keeping the overall cost down for a relatively small area. The compost in the mix helps the existing grass recover, so it was a practical option for restoring and leveling the lawn.

To complete the job we applied the Soil 3 level mix across the designated area and smoothed it to create an even grade. The sand-heavy mix settled quickly and provided the firm, level surface the family wanted. Because the mix contains compost, it also improved the growing conditions for the grass that was already in place.

After work was finished the homeowner watched the lawn closely, and within a couple of weeks the grass completely grew back in the leveled area. The added nutrients from the compost helped support that quick recovery. The result is a flat, green backyard that is now ready for everyday use.

The family is enjoying the space, and the kids have a safe, level area to play. This project demonstrates how a simple, well-chosen soil mix can restore a small lawn without a full sod replacement.
