"Work on sod was done well, first they sprayed a herbicide to kill off the existing weeds and remaining grass. The placed new sod on front and back lawn. The next group cleaned up our flower beds, trimmed the plants and put mulch in all beds."

"Curtis is very responsible and professional. He listened to me and met my needs beyond my expectations. He removed the shrubs and installed palm trees. We went to pick up the large rocks of my choice and placed them in the garden bed, which looks so beautiful. I enjoy a new look of the landscaping!"

"Very Professional. Cost was less than expected and the work was very good. They showed up on time and quickly respaced my sprinkler system pump/motor assembly, indexing valve and controller in about 2-hours. My lawn irrigation system has been completely restored. I would recommend Rehab Junkies without exception."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was looking for a landscaping company to replace some dead palms, and Hackford Landscaping came highly recommended-and now I completely understand why. Branden texted me back right away and showed up the very next day exactly as promised. From the start, he demonstrated real knowledge and professionalism. As we walked through the project, he not only understood what I needed but also offered thoughtful ideas to enhance my garden that I hadn’t even considered. His crew arrived on schedule, and every single person was professional, kind, and courteous. You could genuinely see the pride they take in their work - they went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. Branden and his team are truly exceptional local landscapers. I was so impressed that I’ve already hired them again for another project. Highly recommend!"

"We needed complete landscape service. Old paver patio removed, new larger one installed, sprinklers replaced or moved, new sod, and a border on the side of the house. Outstanding service and quality. They showed up on time and prepared. We added a couple scope changes and these were incorporated easily. Very impressed with the quality of work and great team."

"I hired this company to do a paper project at my house. Throughout the process I was kept updated. On the day the pavers were to be installed, they showed up on time, we’re open to suggestions and very friendly. Collectively, they handed themselves very professionally, and I think I made a friend in the process without a doubt I would hire these fine young men again to do another project of any kind that they’re willing and able to do and so should you!"

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.
