No job is too big or too small we do it all! Professional landscape and hardscape company who specializes in outdoor services that includes mowing, weeding, yard clean ups, mulching, pavers/concrete, painting, retaining walls, sod, turf, fencing, fertilizers, and professional planting. We also are very qualified in tree removal/stump grinding, brick and stone work, deck installation and repairs, interior work, and junk removal. We will beat any competitors pricing and prove to you our work is on the highest standard. We service all of Eastern PA and all of NJ!

"Tyler and his team are nothing short of amazing! They are professional, kind, honest, and some of the hardest working people I have ever met! I reached out to Tyler for an estimate for a retaining wall and a drainage issue we were having in our backyard. Tyler contacted me and came out the very next day to assess the issue. He got back to us that same day with an estimate that was more than reasonable! Tyler told us exactly what we needed to have done: 1) A new retaining wall (our current one was crumbling because roots from trees we had removed were pushing through it) 2) a catch basin in the middle of our yard that would move through to the front yard through a pipe system 3) stump removal 4) leveling out our backyard to make sure the water would flow towards the newly installed catch Basin 5) grass seed 6) clean up He fit us in his schedule very quickly and work got started. What we thought would take at least 3 weeks took a total of four days! The men on site (Carlos and his guys) were so kind and were all so personable and polite! We were so glad they were working on our project and they answered any questions we had for them. I also thought it was awesome that Tyler was on site every day and spoke to us whenever we wanted to. This is an all around great guy and team! The guys also had their work cut out for them they apparently found huge rocks underground as they were digging and they Popped them out and kept going and then they found roots from who knows where. They worked so **** ** this project! They also cleaned up after themselves and did not leave us with a mess. Tyler even noticed a big tree branch had fallen into our yard after a storm and he and his guys cut it up and took it away without even thinking twice. Tyler’s Office Manager Darcy is the sweetest and she would reach out to us throughout the process to make sure we were okay and to see if we needed anything! This has given my family so much peace if mind knowing our water issues are resolved in our backyard. We also now have a beautiful space to enjoy! Our dog Carson monitored the entire process and he also thoroughly enjoyed watching the team give him the backyard of his dreams! Tyler we can’t wait to work with you again in the future and we have already given your name out to anyone we know looking for any kind of landscape work! Thank you again for helping us with this project and being so kind and professional towards us."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Cheltenham, PA

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.
