"Isaac was fantastic in supervising the installation of my concrete patio. The crew worked hard in the hot sun and it shows. It looks beautiful and they cleaned up everything, including a fallen tree branch from a recent storm! Would hire D & S again!"

"Marvin and the team did an amazing job in our yard! They went above & beyond to help us resolve a drainage issue in addition to the turf that we were having installed. The turf looks even better than we expected and they completed the project quickly and without any problems. The guys were professional and left the work areas immaculate at the end of each day. We wish we'd had this done sooner!! Our dog, Molly, is beyond happy in her new yard! We will definitely be calling them again for more projects!"

"American Way is as professional a company as you'll ever find. Communication either by text, call, or email was always responsive and timely. The company worked hard five days a week to get the job done in an impressive amount of time. Their work is phenomenal as care for the project was as important to them as it was for us. If we need anything else done in the future I will not hesitate to contact American Way!"

"Robert and his team were amazing. I had a new door installed leading to a bedroom and some bathroom repairs done. Robert called me personally to schedule an appointment, which took place only a few days later. Pricing was fair. His workers were on time and if they were running over on a job, Robert called to inform me. How is that for customer service! From install to clean up, everything was done the right way. I would highly recommend. I will be contacting Q&R soon for additional projects."

"Very well - a very experienced, polite, helpful and professional driveway paving contractor that came highly recommended. We did not seek any other bids. They showed up when John said they would. Did a good job on our short but very steep driveway."

"After meeting with a number of other contractors for our project, we decided to hire MD Construction. We hired MD Construction to replace the failing retaining wall in our driveway as well as installing steps to a paved pathway that leads to our yard. We met with Miguel (the owner of the MD Construction) and he is very knowledgeable with the process and materials involved. They gave us a great price and provided us with a copy of their insurance and NJ contractor’s license. When they started the work, we had very bad rainstorms the entire week, which made their job even harder. However, they were diligent and professional throughout the process and completed the project on time and within budget. The wall looks great and is an appealing improvement to the home. We will be using them again to replace our patio in our backyard."

"Everything went great! Communication was prompt and timely with Frank during the planning phase, as it was with Gary during the installation. The work actually began sooner than we anticipated and took less time than promised. The crew worked hard to get it right, and we're thrilled with the results (as we were last year.) Given our positive experience, we decided to sign a maintenance contract with Scenic View as well to keep it looking as great as it did when it was completed."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Eatontown, NJ

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.
