Paver Installation
We lay paver patios, walkways, pool decks and fire pit surrounds in concrete pavers or travertine. Every job starts with a graded, compacted base under a screeded sand bed.

Most Palm Coast homes went up in 2000 or later, on flat lots of poorly drained sand. The city requires most back yards to drain to the swale by the street. When a yard settles or the grade runs the wrong way, rain stands in the grass. The lawn thins out, and weeds take over the bare spots.
GBS Sod and Landscape is based in Ormond Beach, and Palm Coast is part of our service area. Most of our work comes from these two cities. Our sod installation here covers tear-out, grading, fresh-cut sod and watering it in. Call or text (386) 238-9215 for a free quote.

USDA soil maps show Smyrna fine sand as the most common soil in Palm Coast. The same survey rates most of the city's ground as poorly or very poorly drained. The USDA says Smyrna's water table sits within 18 inches of the surface for one to four months most years. In rainy seasons, it rises above the ground for a short time.
Palm Coast's canals, swales, pipes and ditches are designed to work together, the city says. The city checks that new patios and pools on existing lots meet its grading and drainage standards. Its rules forbid grading a lot so water floods or drains onto the lot next door.
Our yard grading and drainage work sends rain toward the front swale, as the city requires on most lots. Low spots get fill dirt. Where grading alone falls short, drainage pipe or a French drain carries the water away. New sod goes down last, on ground that sheds water.
It can. Palm Coast requires a Lot Regrading Permit when heavy equipment does the site work. The city's list of heavy equipment includes tillers used to remove existing sod and grade the property. So a lawn torn out by machine can fall under this permit.
Minor work can be exempt, but only when it meets every condition on the city's list. The job uses a single pickup-truck load of fill dirt, spread with hand tools and a wheelbarrow. The drainage pattern stays the same, and the land keeps its overall shape and slope.
Lot clearing takes its own permit in Palm Coast. Its application asks for the swale to be sodded with Bahia grass. All disturbed areas must be sodded or seeded, the city notes. The Building Division answers which permit a job needs, and we point you there.
In May 2026, the St. Johns River Water Management District declared a Phase III extreme water shortage in Flagler County. Under the order, Palm Coast lawns get one watering day a week, set by the address. Odd-numbered addresses water on Saturday, and even-numbered addresses on Sunday. Lawn watering between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. is not allowed.
The order gives new sod a 60-day start. For the first 15 days after it goes in, it may be watered any day. The next 30 days allow up to three days a week, and the last 15 allow two. Our own advice is to water every morning for the first two weeks, with each cycle done before 8 a.m.
The city says the limits apply to every water user, private wells included. Homes on a retail reclaimed water meter are not affected by the restricted schedule. Our irrigation repair work includes setting the controller and zones for a new lawn. Water orders change, so check the district's current rules before you set the timer.
Palm Coast is the largest city in our service area. The Census Bureau counted 89,258 people here in 2020, and its 2025 estimate is 109,886. About 87 percent of the city's homes are detached single-family houses. The median home was built in 2003, and about 61 percent date from 2000 or later.
New neighborhoods are still filling in. In 2025, the city approved plats for about 400 single-family homes in Sawmill Branch and Seminole Palms. For new homes and older ones, we build paver patios and walkways and refresh tired rock and mulch beds.
Palm Coast's Land Development Code treats walls of 36 inches and under as landscape features. A taller wall needs a permit, as does one of 24 inches or more that carries a deck or pool. The city's permit for non-structural patios calls for a final survey on flat work over 300 square feet.

My experience was excellent. Cesar was punctual and did an outstanding job installing a stone retaining wall in the front of my house. He completed the job in a very professional manner. He takes pride in his work and the finished product is beautiful. I would recommend Cesar and GBS Sod and Landscape to anyone who needs a retaining wall installed.
Caesar and Hugo did an awesome job in getting my front and backyard looking beautiful. They stripped my backyard and my front yard, put in new irrigation, border paving, weed block, seashell, along with new sod. My beach house now looks like something that belongs in a magazine. I can’t thank them enough for what they have done for me. GBS sod landscaping was fair priced, worked on time, and completed my job in a very quick time. I highly recommend GBS Sod and Landscaping for all your yard needs.
Wonderful experience working with GBS sod and landscaping !They installed new Sod, pavers and irrigation system in our yard after we had to put in a new septic system. Front yard looks amazing. Highly recommend.
I cannot recommend GBS enough! I've had recurring issues with water pooling under my stillt house, From the moment I called, their communication was fantastic. Caesar (owner) diagnosed the issues, and efficiently fixed the problem by installing new drainage pipes and grates. The GBS Crew worked tirelessly removing a lot of old mulch and dirt replacing with stone. Courteous and honest with upfront pricing. If you need reliable, high-quality irrigation and landscape work in Florida, this is the business to call!
We used GBS to clear out a section of our yard, remove dying plants, replace top soil and place new sod. Cesar and his crew were very timely, meticulous and responsive to our needs. Thank you for a great job and we highly recommend them
