"Gerry and Austin did an impressive job. Gerry is very creative so our patio turned out way more interesting and beautiful than we could have imagined. They also worked very hard and completed everything very quickly. Only drawback (and was not a showstopper) was that they do not handle irrigation so we will need someone else to repair/reconfigure our sprinkler system."

"I would not hire The Pros Inc. TPL AKA The Pros Landscape Management Inc., owner Salomon Lopez Perez (SLP), and I do not recommend them. TPL installed a new home lawn: removed grass and topsoil, replaced topsoil, and applied Hydroseed in 2023. Outcome is a failed lawn per SLP. I contacted TPL many times; they failed to perform. (removed company name) demanded payment of the project balance before the hydroseed was applied. By 8/21/23, I sent photographs of dead patches and dying grass. TPI said they will â fix the lawn; TPL was a no-show on 8/26/23. I emailed photos on 9/15/23 showing dead grass and continuing deterioration. TPL came to hand-sprinkle seed; no hydroseed; did not replace dirt. I sent more photos on 10/27/23. On 11/18/23 SLP says he will have a crew come next spring [2024] to rake, spread new soil, reseed, fertilize so we can help the lawn grow and thrive for the season. SLP never followed up. On 5/1/24 and 5/3/24, I called/emailed SLP and TPL, and SLP visited the lawn on 5/20/24, and called the lawn â a failed lawn. SLP arranged a soil test via a different landscaper; results on 7/21/2024 show the TPI soil provided has very low cation exchange capacity making it difficult for the soil to support growth of healthy turf. That company recommended the soil be replaced and re-seeded. A second sample analyzed by a university laboratory reported that the electrolytes in the TPL-provided soil contained undesirably high electrolytes (Mg, P, Al), out of range of desired levels to grow and sustain grass; 53.4% of the TPL dirt is gravel, not compatible with growing and sustaining a lawn. Naked eye can see pebbles. As of 8/6/2024, TPL-SLP failed to fix our failed lawn â or refund partial payment. TPL delays/ignores customers request to complete their work and keep their word to fix it. TPL will not answer or return a customer calls.

Sod installations FAQs

Seeding is less expensive up front compared to sod installation. However, sod provides an instant lawn with minimal maintenance, while seeded lawns require extended care and can take up to two years to fully establish.

“To determine how much sod you need, first calculate your yard’s total area by sketching your layout and multiplying each section’s length by its width. Standard sod pieces measure 2 feet by 1½ feet, and one pallet covers 450 square feet. Divide your total square footage by this pallet coverage figure and consult your sod provider for precise estimates to ensure you purchase the correct amount.”

“New sod develops a strong root system within 10 to 14 days, so it is not ready for heavy use until this period is complete. Do not walk on or disturb the sod during this critical phase, as premature activity delays healthy rooting. Allow the grass to settle firmly to secure long-term lawn durability.”

“You can begin limited, careful use of your lawn two weeks after installation to allow initial rooting. However, refrain from heavy traffic or frequent mowing until six weeks have passed and the roots have fully anchored the sod. Consistent watering during this period is essential to promote robust development and long-term stability.”

“After installation, monitor your sod closely for balanced color and uniform moisture. Watch for brown patches or uneven growth, as these indicate dehydration or nutrient deficiencies. Maintaining a steady watering schedule and ensuring the sod remains undisturbed during its early stages are essential steps to guarantee robust root development and a healthy, attractive lawn.”

“The best time to install sod is during spring or fall. These seasons offer optimal temperatures and moisture levels that ensure rapid rooting and strong establishment. Avoid installing sod in winter when the ground is frozen or in summer when extreme heat can dehydrate the grass, as proper conditions are critical for a durable lawn.”
