"Met Joshua by accident while at a tree farm. He walked us around and explained what is good for our project and what to avoid. Without looking anywhere else, we hired him on the spot. Joshua is genuine and honest - exactly what we were looking for as we are new to The Villages. They started three weeks later after all agreeing to the project scope and quote. We added 6 palms and a rock wall around the house. Joshua and tony met every expectation all the while fitting in the numerous changes we requested along the way. Highly recommend and will hire him again when we expand our beautiful landscape."

We offer a variety landscaping services that are customizable to each individual property. We pride ourselves on the quality of our work as well as our commitment to outstanding results.

"A crew of 5 or 6 men were able to remove all my landscaping, rocks and mats that were over 20 years old and replace around my house. They arrived about 2 pm one day and departed the next day about the same time. This company is not listed as an authorized business in the state of Florida, had I known this before I hired them, I would not have used this company. They did an admirable job but I believe $6100 was a bit much to pay. I would not hire them again."

We understand our client's needs and take them into account to produce a high-quality result that everyone takes pride in. We also take pride in communicating with our clients to make sure the project is going to plan.

"The service was very poor. They arrived late for every appointment and did not perform what they initially said they would (agreed to put in fertilizer and did not). The plants they put in were extremely tiny and they failed to provide a receipt that broke down the price of labor vs plants. When they left, they did not re-bury the sprinkler hoses and they buried a couple sprinkler heads. We had to work for several hours (we are in our 80's), digging out the sprinkler heads and reburying the hoses."

Sod installations FAQs

Seeding is less expensive up front compared to sod installation. However, sod provides an instant lawn with minimal maintenance, while seeded lawns require extended care and can take up to two years to fully establish.

“To determine how much sod you need, first calculate your yard’s total area by sketching your layout and multiplying each section’s length by its width. Standard sod pieces measure 2 feet by 1½ feet, and one pallet covers 450 square feet. Divide your total square footage by this pallet coverage figure and consult your sod provider for precise estimates to ensure you purchase the correct amount.”

“New sod develops a strong root system within 10 to 14 days, so it is not ready for heavy use until this period is complete. Do not walk on or disturb the sod during this critical phase, as premature activity delays healthy rooting. Allow the grass to settle firmly to secure long-term lawn durability.”

“You can begin limited, careful use of your lawn two weeks after installation to allow initial rooting. However, refrain from heavy traffic or frequent mowing until six weeks have passed and the roots have fully anchored the sod. Consistent watering during this period is essential to promote robust development and long-term stability.”

“After installation, monitor your sod closely for balanced color and uniform moisture. Watch for brown patches or uneven growth, as these indicate dehydration or nutrient deficiencies. Maintaining a steady watering schedule and ensuring the sod remains undisturbed during its early stages are essential steps to guarantee robust root development and a healthy, attractive lawn.”

“The best time to install sod is during spring or fall. These seasons offer optimal temperatures and moisture levels that ensure rapid rooting and strong establishment. Avoid installing sod in winter when the ground is frozen or in summer when extreme heat can dehydrate the grass, as proper conditions are critical for a durable lawn.”
