Known for Sod. Trusted for Landscaping, Hardscaping, Masonry and More!
Looking for a local landscaping company in Knoxville, TN? Gladiator SOD and Landscaping is locally owned and runs its own in-house crew, never subcontractors. We handle sod, landscape design, patios, retaining walls, and masonry across Knoxville, Farragut, Oak Ridge, and Lenoir City, backed by nearly 150 Google reviews. For Middle Tennessee homeowners, we also have an office in Nashville.
Gladiator SOD and Landscaping is an owner-led landscaping company based on Oak Ridge Highway in Knoxville. We started with sod, and it is still what we are best known for. Over time, customers asked us to build the rest of the yard, so we grew into landscape design, grading and drainage, hardscaping, and masonry.
A Mason at the Helm
The owner is a mason by trade and is on the job for the stone and brick work. That is why our patios, retaining walls, and fire features start with a proper base or footing for Knoxville’s red clay, and why they are still level years later.
The Person Who Quotes Your Job Is on Your Job
No sales rep who disappears after the contract is signed, and no subcontractors. Grading, sod, patios, and walls are handled by the same in-house crew from start to finish.
Built for East Tennessee, Here Next Year
Clay soil, steep lots, lake frontage on Fort Loudoun and Melton Hill, and freeze-thaw winters shape how we build. When you want to add a patio or a fire pit down the road, you call the same office and the same phone number.
Our crew installs sod across Knoxville, TN, every week, year-round. East Tennessee homeowners choose Bermuda for high-traffic, full-sun yards, Fescue for shaded lots, and Zeon Zoysia for the dense, putting-green look that thrives in Knoxville’s clay-heavy soil. Every sod install starts with site prep and grading, runs through delivery and lay-down the same week, and finishes with a watering plan tuned to East Tennessee summers.
