Fall is the Best Time to Plant Sod in Northern Virginia

The early Fall or mid-Fall tends to be the best time to plant sod in Northern VA. This is because the temperatures have cooled down from the Summer highs and you tend to get more precipitation during these months. There is plenty of time between Fall and Winter for the sod to root and establish prior to dormancy which means in the Winter, your lawn will be healthy, full and easy to green up in the Spring.
 
Stop by the Yard and speak with one of our salespersons to discuss your sod requirement. RSSY will make sure you install your sod properly in your yard. Please call us (703) 339-8095 or visit our web page for more information.
 

Finding the Right Retaining Wall Product for Your Job

September 12, 2022
Retaining walls often look like simple stacked stone, concrete, or brick, but in fact they are carefully engineered systems that require much planning. Retaining walls are a great way to provide support to slopes of soil and land, increase usable yard space, and even add attractive curb appeal to your home.
 
Homeowners and landscapers often utilize retaining walls as a solution to maintain soil in a specific shape for structural purposes such as elevating driveways, retaining landscape designs, and so much more. Stop by the Yard today or call us at (703) 339-8095 and talk to one of our experienced sales persons to find the right retaining wall product for your job.
