"Excellent experience, thorough, on time, extremely professional and priced right! I spoke to Miguel within 2 minutes of requesting sod installation from Home advisor, from the initial call I knew I had found the right person to do the job at the right price. He was extremely helpful and focused on efficiency and being cost effective. I needed 1 pallet of sod and it is some of the best sound out there. rich green and healthy. I will definitely contact A and B in the future."

"Nathan arrived promptly to measure and give the estimate to replace sod, which was destroyed by bugs. He also provided a quote for a retaining wall since that was another consideration. He was very professional and gave his opinion as to the need for a retaining wall (did not feel that was necessary and would be a much bigger expense), so we went with the sod. In preparation for the new sod, and as recommended by Nathan,  we had a lawn pest service come and treat the area so that there would be no bugs to affect the new sod.  It was only when we noticed a strange truck and men we did not recognize examining the area that we realized the job was being subcontracted out to someone else. We were a bit surprised by this but were assured by Nathan that everything was under control. To make a long story short, the new sod, when installed, was infected with cinch bugs and web-worm and parts died off almost immediately. Other areas just looked choppy and did not blend in well with the existing slope of the land.  In addition the equipment they used to bring the new sod to the backyard chewed up the grass in the front and side yards of our house. Bottom line: Nathan made sure that everything was completed to our satisfaction and never pressed us for any balance due until we were completely satisfied. Sod was replaced until we were satisfied but took a longer than it should have had it been done correctly from the start. We now have beautiful, green, lush grass in the backyard and the front and side damage was repaired and is coming along nicely. Took a lot to get there but I give Nathan a lot of credit. He was professional all the way through and inspired our trust that the job would be completed to our satisfaction, which it was! We will probably not use them again for any sod work, but would definitely consider them for other landscaping projects."

"Curtis replaced some sod in my backyard and did a great job. I was contacted very quickly to provide an estimate and he performed the job promptly and as promised. Most of the other local companies did not want to take on my project as it was not big enough. I plan on using Curtis in the future to handle some other projects in my landscaping."

"The garden beds and lighting look amazing. The new sod will be good once the old grass catches up to the new grass. The edging of the garden beds makes them stand out against the lawn and the overall curb appeal is improved a millionfold."

"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."

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.
