"We recently hired Sod Smith LLC to sod our yard and couldn't be more impressed. Kaleb was personal yet professional, and had good communication with me, along with answering all of my questions, which made the process easy! Micah and his crew were good to work with. They were respectful, hardworking, and did an excellent job with clean-up. You couldn't even tell they were here! We also signed up for the Establishment Plan. Our Field Tech Cali is great. She comes weekly and checks the sod growth, and today she did out first mow. It looks fabulous! The end result looks amazing! If you're looking for a business that offers professional sod installation, look no further than Sod Smith LLC. We highly recommend!"

"Cherry Hill Landscape has poor communication and very poor workmanship. We hired them to repair a tipping landscaping wall and address the water and dirt that flows down onto our patio. They never showed up! After numerous emails and phone calls they finally sent one guy with 3 tools - but no way to cut bricks. Very poor workmanship with the blocks and never even addressed the water/ dirt issue."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Apple Valley, MN

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.
