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.”
