"I recently had my old landscaping removed and a brand-new design installed, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Nick and his partner were professional, punctual, and truly listened to my vision. From the initial consultation to the final cleanup, every step was handled with care and attention to detail. They removed overgrown shrubs and outdated features quickly and efficiently, then transformed the space with fresh plantings and clean edging. The new layout is not only beautiful but also low-maintenance—exactly what I asked for. Nick offered great suggestions I hadn't considered, and everything came together beautifully. Highly recommend Nick and his team to anyone looking to transform their space."

"So let me start off by saying that this was probably the wettest spring and early summer that we’ve ever had here in Ohio. When I met with Dan back in February I thought the job would be done by April however due to the rains we could not get this accomplished. I texted him on several occasions and he responded quickly and professionally and explain to me why we cannot start the project as it was too wet. Eventually were able to get the job started the weekend after the Fourth of July. He and his team came out and got the job done in about two days. It was very professional and his team did well at cleaning up after them selves as well as the job itself. Of course we were delayed in starting due to lack of rai eventually were able to get the job started the weekend after the Fourth of July. He and his team came out and got the job done in about two days. It was very professional and his team did well at cleaning up after them selves as well as the job itself. Of course we were delayed in starting due to an abundance of rain, And of course after the installation has not rained very much. Today however we got a good amount of rain and there were some definitely some low spots that identified. I sent Dan a text with some pictures and he said he would address those once they dried out. So far I am pleased with my experience the cost and product. I initially thought I was getting Bruno’s landscaping but I guess they work together. I’ll keep you updated on any further work that is done on the lawn."

"This is the 2nd time we have used John Suleva and 1st Impressions.  They originally did a stone paver patio for us 6 years ago below and existing deck.  We love the patio so much, that when our poorly constructed deck failed, we had John come back and replaced the deck with a raised paver patio using the same pavers to match the previous patio they had installed.  They once again did an incredible job.  They are meticulous in their work.  They leave the yard and surroundings as clean and undisturbed as possible.  They pour a concrete pad and lay the pavers on top of that.  This process may cost a bit more, but it is SO worth it. These patios will last a life time and never move or have weeds grow up between the pavers.  I'm sure you could find someone a little cheaper, but you get what you pay for.  They do superior quality work and are a pleasure to work with.  They were actually done a week earlier than we had expected too! The best contractor we have ever dealt with.

"About two years ago, my husband and I purchased a home that was built in 1931 and neglected by the previous owner for the past 50 years. Needless to say, we are dealing with a variety of contractors on a regular basis. Of all the companies we have worked with, Superior Landscaping has proven to be the most reliable by far. Mark returned every call promptly and arrived at our house when he said he would - or early! This alone was a real treat compared to others. Mark is very knowledgeable and helpful. When it came time to pick out our new tree, he actually brought a tree book with him so I could see what the mature tree would look like. Everything was done exactly as outlined in his original proposal and completed very neatly and professionally. We hope to use Mark this spring for a complete redo of some very unattractive front yard landscaping."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Cleveland, OH

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.
