"Leon is friendly, professional, and cares for the customer and the outcome of the project. I had him install zoysia sod, and had to wait a while for the product to be ready to harvest. He kept me updated on a weekly basis until he was able to retrieve it-then within hours I had a new lawn. He instructed me on watering and happily answered questions. His estimate was in line with other companies."

"Chris and his crew did a great job. Removed old railroad ties and installed new metal edging. In front they installed new stone edging, removed old bushes and installed new bushes. They cleaned up afterwards."

"This is an outstanding company. If we could rate then a 10 or a 5+, we would readily do so. They went above and beyond what was on most bids that we had gotten and yet were the most reasonably priced We had seen sod put in at a neighbor's house and they didn't do half the prep work that T&T did. They are truly an outstanding, quality and customer oriented company."

"We were very pleased all around. Tom was personable, easy going, and seemed to understand our needs. Our yard is very large and Tom understood our desire to do projects in stages. We liked the drawing/plan he provided and a detailed breakdown of the cost. When we are ready to move forward, we'll definitely hire Tom.

"Chad removed all the shrubbery in front of my home then proceeded to install a brick retaining wall and plant the new shrubs and flowers that we had discussed. I also decided to have him resod the entire front yard so it would be picture perfect!! Chad has a great work ethic and is very dependable. I highly recommend him to anyone. My place is beautiful all because of CHAD."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Ballwin, MO

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.
