COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - September 1, 2025 - Taravella's Hydro Turf, Colorado's hydroseeding experts for over 40 years, today announced the launch of a new educational initiative aimed at helping Colorado Springs homeowners understand the key differences between professional and DIY sod installation. This campaign addresses the growing interest among homeowners in upgrading their properties with beautiful, sustainable lawns while making informed decisions about installation methods.
The educational initiative highlights both the benefits and challenges of DIY sod installation compared to professional services, with a focus on the unique climate and soil conditions of Colorado Springs and surrounding areas.
"After four decades of serving Colorado homeowners, we've seen many DIY sod installation projects that ended up costing more in the long run due to improper techniques or materials," said John Taravella, Owner of Taravella's Hydro Turf. "Our goal is to provide honest, straightforward information that helps residents make the best decision for their specific situation, whether that means hiring professionals or taking the DIY approach with proper guidance."
The campaign outlines several critical factors homeowners should consider when deciding between professional and DIY sod installation:
-
Technical expertise: Professional installers understand soil preparation requirements specific to Colorado's semi-arid climate, including proper grading, soil amendments, and irrigation considerations
-
Cost comparison: While DIY installation may seem less expensive initially, the campaign provides a comprehensive cost analysis, including materials, equipment rental, and potential replacement costs
-
Time investment: Detailed breakdown of labor hours required for proper DIY installation versus the efficiency of professional services
-
Long-term lawn health: Information on how professional installation can affect establishment rates, drought resistance, and overall lawn longevity
As an alternative to traditional sod, Taravella's Hydro Turf also educates homeowners about hydroseeding options, which offer substantial cost savings while delivering comparable results. Their hydroseeding services start at $800 for a 5,000 square foot area, significantly less than traditional sod installation.
"Many Colorado Springs homeowners are surprised to learn that hydroseeding can deliver beautiful, customized lawns at a fraction of the cost of sod," Taravella added. "Our family has been perfecting these techniques for decades, specifically adapted to local conditions."
The educational initiative provides detailed information about ground preparation services, custom seed blends tailored to Colorado Springs' elevation and climate, as well as specialized applications for residential properties of all sizes.
