"They were professional, on time, did a great job at a great price too! They even came back to replace two pieces of sod that weren't doing well, and adjusted my sprinklers! I highly recommend them and am bringing them back to trim my big oak tree! Thanks for the great service!"

The landscaping was impeccable and just what my wife asked for. We couldn’t be happier.

"Had the entire landscaped yard front & back (no grass) refreshed with new plants and new trees installed. Peter was on the job and worked throughtout, and oversaw the crews work. Peter fixed the irrigation system and also added extra drains. They also layed shell and rock throughout the entire yard. Very happy with the results and would highly recommend Peter and his crew known as the Green Hornet."

"I had the pleasure of hiring California Palms Landscaping for a large project at my home. Steven Miro and his team were fantastic. They installed a sprinkler system, plants and sod for my front and back yards. They were efficient, cost-effective and the utmost professionals. I was so pleased with the results I hired them again to install my patio. It looks awesome! I will be using California Palms Landscaping for all of my outdoor needs. I highly recommend you try them."

"Alex and his team took great pride in their work and took a general concept and made it a reality. We asked for a “wow” factor and got it. They were on time, pleasant, and kept their work area cleaned up (as well as could be done during landscaping). They didn’t leave our job to complete another one. They stayed on it until it was done. They extended our lanai, installed a Pergola, built a water fountain and a stone kitchenette for the Blaze Grill, added landscaping, curbing, and lights. Every person who has seen it is amazed. It is truly spectacular."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Apollo Beach, 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.
