"We moved to Bolton to a yard in disrepair and needed help ASAP. I emailed Ronaldo and he got back to me almost immediately and was able to route one of his team over to our home to help. He and the team have been great, If you need a professional, reliable and frankly "nice" landscaping firm, hire them!"

"Elmer and crew are prompt, courteous, entirely responsible, and see the project through. I worked as a contractor in the past, now as a physician, and these guys are second to none. They work incredibly hard, and do a great job, and take real pride in their work. I would have no hesitation in hiring Elmer to handle even complicated jobs, including work that Elmer and crew have done for us: taking down trees over 50 feet, building retaining walls in even complex, tight areas with drainage issues, elevating landscape, grading and regrading lawns, installing fences, and doing a great job with general yardwork and cleanup. The work is quality, at a fair price, and with promp timing. Also, Elmer himself has a great sense for what works well with landscaping: hard-working, but also creative and smart. I would be happy to provide a telephone reference on request."

"Ever made contact with me almost immediately after I listed the lot clearing project with Angi. The work involved clearing a nearly 1/4 acre hilly lot that was overrun with trees, dead and live, rocks, large furrows and depressions, brush, and reeds. The finished result was a smooth, graded, easily traversed grove. The price was very fair and definitely would use Ever's services again."

"Yovani and his crew were terrific! Very responsive and communicative. They worked fast, used high quality materials, and worked with our budget even as our project grew from a patio and retaining wall to include a yard clear out, a pathway, steps, and turf install. Highly recommend them!"

"While installing my fencing I was alerted to 3 trees that were rotting and close to falling. They were removed the next day. The fencing was then resumed and my yard and my neighbor's yard was cleaned up. I would recommend them and I am contemplating having them do my landscaping in the spring. Thank you to all the crew. They were all very easy to work with."

"I am impressed with the quality of service provided us by Narrow Lane Landscaping. Narrow Lane worked with our small condominium association to develop a pleasing front yard landscape design and they readily provided us with a revised design when our condominium budget was reduced. All scheduling was spelled out in advance and delivered as promised and the firm was very good in responding to client requests and questions within 24 hours. After our Landscape design was installed, Narrow Lane initiated follow up contact with our Association 12 weeks following the completion of work and replaced a plant that had died at not additional cost to us."

"Marlon & his crew went way beyond our expectations! They worked so very hard and were extremely neat. Marlon had wonderful ideas for us and we have made a very dear friend. Receiving so many complements from people walking by we don't know. Our neighbors want to use them for their yards. We are so proud of our property and wish we could show you a picture. They also installed a beautiful curved walk-way, trees, flowers and sod. It not only looks beautiful, but they left it immaculate. My wife says Marlon was such a Sweetheart to work with ... very easy going, and conscientious."

"It went very well. The small wall was not initially part of the plans, but they were very quick at getting us an estimate. With the addition of the wall, it cost more than we had expected, but the slope of the yard made the wall necessary to have a level patio, so the additional cost was more than worth it. The workers were very meticulous and did a terrific job. I would recommend John's to a friend or neighbor."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Burlington, MA

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.
