"It went swimmingly well the consultant was very helpful her advice was very agreeable to both my pocket and backyard. Her suggestion to plant trees at the bottom of the slope in my backyard never occurred to me. The trees are both beautiful and functional they provide a natural curtain of privacy between my backyard and my neighbor's yard while holding the slope in place. The workers were punctual and went right to work finishing within the short time the consultant promised. Very pleased very relieved. No more weeds on the hill and a beautiful backdrop of gorgeous cypress trees."

"The contractor and crew did a fabulous job of installing a permeable paved driveway and retaining wall. They were respectful of me, my time and property. They kept me updated and explained each phase of the project. I’m very very pleased with the company and the completed project. I highly recommend this company and would definitely use them again."

"This summer's weather proved challenging to get our back yard re-landscaped. Rainy weather caused several delays but once things finally cleared, Baumann's crew came in force and did a beautiful landscaping of our back yard, including installing a sprinkler to keep things growing while we were away, installing a downspout drain, and adding pavers and a small stone patio. They also did a massive clean up of our yard, clearing out weeds, thinning out bushes, and replacing the mulch. We don't look like we live in the jungle anymore. For general yard clean-up and maintenance, these guys are great and punctual."

"Saul and his team did a great job removing the trees from our property and doing the seeding and other treatments afterwards.  Saul was great to plan the project with, they have quick time to complete projects (seems rare for a tree service after all the storms this year seem to have tied up other tree services in the area), and their prices were good. They were prompt and very cooperative with their schedule considering we had to change our planned project date a few days the Saturday before they were supposed to be out at 8 AM on Monday.  They arrived right at their scheduled time and were done quickly and did a wonderful job getting things taken care of cleanly and respectful of the homeowner's property.   <br /> We were expecting them to do the grading and seeding on our back hill, but we weren't expecting them to use sod in the front yard where the dead Zelkova was removed.  They installed some very nice sod in that spot since we didn't want to replace the dead tree right away.  You almost couldn't tell there was ever a tree there a few days before when they were done! I've had sod work done before at previous homes and this was some beautiful sod and installation done by Benitez Landscaping:-) <br /> We were also very impressed at how great Saul's team made the stone steps on our back hill look.  It looks great!  Much better than we ever could have imagined they would look without having to add more stones.  They did such a great job you can't notice the stones were ever in such a funky original position. <br /> The stump grinding rep  was very informative when he was here and explained what killed the dead Zelkova tree and cautioned helus about some other trees on the property that could reach a similar fate if caution wasn't taken.    It was helpful getting such advice. <br /> Overall we were very pleased with Saul Benitez and all the members of Benitez Landscaping that participated in the projects in our yard recently.  Saul and Benitez Lanscaping made the whole process easy and painless and exhibited outstanding customer service.  We believe we got a good value for the money and we will certainly contact them again in the future for other landscaping projects and highly recommend them to others looking for landscape services."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Ashburn, VA

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.
