"We hired Marty to install sod and landscaping at our home. We did not have any ideas on what type of plants or landscaping for our area that we would like. Marty was able to come to our home and provide us with a recommendation that we would have never dreamed of. He was able to transform our front, side, and backyard into something that looks like it should be in Southern Living. He immediately wowed us with his deep knowledge of different types of plants and was able to create us a detailed drawing of what our new yard would look like. He also took the time to email us pictures of the different plants that he suggested to make sure that we liked what he was suggesting. He picked plants that would provide color year round and mixed plants that would go dormant with plants that would stay green year round. In addition to giving us landscaping that we are proud of, Marty and his crew were very punctual. He set up appointments with us and showed up exactly on time. During the process of the installation, he and his crew began working on the agreed upon date and finished in remarkable time as well. He also extended a fence for us that was not in the original plan without extending the timeframe of the project. Once the project was complete, we had over 60 new plants of different variety and new sod. We felt that Marty's cost for all of he and his crew's work, plants, and sod was very reasonable. I will recommend him to anyone that needs landscaping design and installation."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Becker, MS

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.
