"Morne and his team were incredible to work with. He transformed the curb appeal of our 1980’s ranch. We have enjoyed his landscape installations at other homes in our neighborhood and we’re excited to have him design and install new landscaping and sod on the front of our home. We would recommend NCG to our neighbors, family, and friends."

"Mark at A&M walked the yard with my husband, explaining everything they would do, including some extra work, finishing some shrub trimming that my husband had been making his way through for weeks. They had a large crew that did the work and even worked through the rain to make sure they got it done on time and to our satisfaction. A&M did not quote us the lowest price, but they were the most professional team and we felt they were the right company to replace our sod. Replacing our sod was not just about price, it was about getting people that care about the job and the outcome as much as we care about it. The final result is a beautiful lawn. I'm sure we made the right decision and we would hire A&M Landscape Design again."

"Huge shoutout to Ryan’s All In One Landscape! Tanner and his crew stepped in on short notice to fix an irrigation break for us, then stayed on to rearrange the system to fit our new landscaping. They didn't leave until they were sure we had perfect coverage everywhere. Also hired them for some follow-on sod/ landscape projects. If you need honest, high-quality irrigation or landscape work, these are the guys. Highly recommend!"

"A slight initial communications disconnect regarding when the sod would be installed, but the completed job was done very well. The crew arrived as scheduled, planted 7 viburnum bushes, put down mulch, installed the sod and watered in the bushes and sod."

"I highly recommend blumerhouse corp for their professional sod installation. From the very first contact, they were professional, punctual, and extremely reliable. They completed the project on time and left the entire area clean and well organized. The quality of the sod installation was outstanding — perfectly leveled, with proper soil preparation, proper drainage, and a beautiful, seamless finish that made the yard look fresh, green, and professionally done from day one. The lawn rooted quickly and looks healthy and even. They also provided clear instructions for watering and maintenance, which shows their knowledge and commitment to long-term results. This is a trustworthy company with fair pricing and high-quality work. I would definitely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for sod installation or landscaping services."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Alafaya, FL

Seeding costs less up front, but you’ll wait months—and sometimes a full season—for the grass to fill in. Sod costs more per square foot, yet it gives you an instant, usable lawn the day it’s installed and needs far less care during the first year. 

If speed and early curb appeal matter, the higher sod price is often worth it; if you’re watching every dollar and don’t mind the wait, seed can still be a smart play.

Start by sketching your lawn and breaking it into rectangles or circles. Measure each section, multiply length by width, and then add all the sections together for the total square footage. Standard sod rolls are two feet by 1.5 feet, and one pallet covers 450 square feet. 

Divide your total area by 450 to see how many pallets you need, then round up—extras come in handy for cutting around curves or mistakes. Still unsure? A local sod supplier or installer can confirm your math before you order.

Most sod grips the soil within 10 to 14 days. During that stretch, keep foot traffic to a minimum and mow only if the grass gets tall. After two weeks, the roots should be strong enough for light use, but wait six weeks before heavy play or frequent mowing. Giving the grass that short honeymoon helps it anchor firmly and sets the stage for a durable, healthy lawn.

Give your new lawn two full weeks before any foot traffic, then stick to light use only. Hold off on vigorous play, parties, or regular mowing until the six-week mark so the roots can dig deep. Keep watering on schedule and watch for any dry patches. A little patience now means stronger turf and fewer repairs later.

Keep an eye on color, moisture, and even growth. Fresh sod should stay uniformly green; brown spots or gaps hint at dry soil or poor contact. Water deeply at least once a day for the first week (more in hot weather) and back off gradually after the roots take. Avoid heavy foot traffic until the grass feels firmly anchored. Quick attention to trouble spots now prevents costly patches later.

Aim for spring or early fall when daytime temps hover between 55°F and 80°F. Mild weather and consistent moisture help the roots knit quickly. Laying sod in midsummer can stress the grass, while frozen winter soil blocks rooting altogether. 

If you must install outside the ideal window, budget extra time for watering and tending to the turf. Choosing the right season makes the job easier and the lawn tougher.
