"I’m pleased as a retired veteran to recommend Bongiorno and Sons. The scope of the work was to rip out existing shrubs and install a 1,000 sq.ft patio. The job was estimated fairly, and the work was completed in 6 days. The workers were on the job every day at @ 8:30 AM and worked a full day without interruption, attention to detail, precision, and quality of workmanship were standard. The supervisor also assisted the crew with the job. Follow up and customer service were refreshing and frequent. I have hired “contractors “ in the past, but these guys are what contracting should be, no excuses, no BS, no leaving you hanging, they even scheduled a follow up after the job was complete To ask us about the work. I could go on and on ... if you want a fair job, the way it should be done by a qualified and “REAL” contractor Carl and crew are the ones u need to hire... you will be pleased beyond expectation."

"Work performed on designer block berm wall was outstanding. Ran into an issue where they started installing the wrong type of designer block then what was originally requested. I did not notice until after the installation started. I brought it up to the owner/supervisor and he made the correction with no resistance and no additional cost to me. The project came out great and I am looking to have them perform more landscape design projects for us in the near future. FEI has been our general landscape maintenance contractor for 15 straight years. The edge, in my opinion, FEI has over any other landscaper that I could bring in is their personable and organized office manager. Her responsiveness to any needs, or concerns, which I may have regarding my lawn care service is handled professionally and efficiently."

"We had several other
companies give estimates over the course of a week, but they were unable
to do the work in the short time span with which we had to work. Greg
was able to take down two trees quickly and for a reasonable price. 0
Friendly, professional, and safety conscious. Highly recommend Double Tree Services  !

"Roca and his team were very professional and did a thorough job on repaving my driveway and repairing our front sidewalk. The team delivered as promised and on schedule. In addition they worked quite fast although it was clear they paid attention to the important details. I would surely hire them again and am quite satisfied with the work they did ."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Bellport, NY

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.
