"The men were efficient and friendly, and extremely competent so that I could easily trust them on matters of how well the trees would look if this branch was taken out, or this one left in, and they trimmed everything perfectly. They cleaned up completely, and even offered to do some small work (at no additional fee) I was going to get to on my own, just to help me because I had recently had some shoulder work done and wouldn't e able to get to it for a while.

We are a family-owned and operated business that prides itself on quality work and offers full landscape such as mulching, flower/plant delivery & installation, sod delivery & installation, hedge/bush shaping, landscape design, lighting as well as irrigation services. We do stump grinding, land clearing, rock & milling delivery/installation, culvert installation, tractor work, fill dirt, sand, and rock/shell delivery & installation. We also do hardscape such as paver stones and can make any outdoor kitchen, patio, or pool deck idea come to life. We are certified by the ISA for arborists and have Pest Control & Herbicide certification & licensure so we do tree removal, tree trimming, and tree injections. We appreciate our clients!

"I clearly stated I wanted a contractor who would give me a product I wouldn?t have to tend to. He laid rock and mulch WITHOUT putting a commercial plastic down for weed prevention. He said he would have to charge me $1,000 more. He charged me $8,000.00 to start the job (cash $4,000 down and the rest upon completion. He never came back to put in a drain screen he was throwing in. My job was not very big at all. I will say his guys were sweet. I am 71 disabled female Air Force Vet and my 19 year old granddaughter lives with me. He has stood me up to do a few things for over 2 1/2 weeks. I am constantly weeding and spraying which if he did the job correctly it would have not had happened 2 days after completion. I had another company come by today and took my stump out $200.00. Whereas Hackford wanted to charge me $450 only to level the stump. Hackford had taken advantage of my situation. He also quoted me a smaller area for around $3500.00. Buyer beware - "

"The French Drain Pros" refers to experts in installing French drains, which are trench systems with perforated pipes, gravel, and fabric that intercept and redirect groundwater, preventing foundation damage, soggy yards, erosion, and mold by moving water away from homes, offering a durable, hidden, and aesthetically pleasing solution for water management, though proper installation is key. They solve chronic water issues, protect property value, and create usable outdoor spaces by managing surface and subsurface water effectively, say Angie's List articles and other landscaping experts.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Cocoa, FL

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.
