"Excellent job! Josh and Billy did a great job - grading out the old lawn, smoothing it out and providing proper pitch and slope, installing a golf course type drain and seeding and matting the new lawn. They even worked hourly to distribute 10 yards of mulch when I requested it. They also returned to do 15 mulch rings around pine trees, which turned out great. They are qualified to do any and all landscape block and retaining walls - so I may be hiring them in the Spring to work on that. Good prices and quality work - I recommend C&R highly!"
Fountain and pump are installed and working properly, last but not least Mississippi stone for the finishing touches!

"Julian arrived on time. We discussed the project, and set up a date to do the work. It was all done on time, and beautiful work. After the installation, a couple of changes were necessary. They took care of it all."

"Roman’s team did a beautiful job with the paver patio and sod installation. It was transformational! He accommodated all our requests, such as adding compost in my garden bed and adding a cement small slab for a pizza oven. Would definitely recommend for any landscaping needs."

"Roberto and his team worked extremely hard in removing about 2-3 inches of clay/Stoney dirt and putting down about 2 inches of very good black dirt. They first had to remove about 20 plants that were in the garden which they were careful in doing. When they replanted these plants plus about 20 more, they used black dirt to fill the hole around the plant roots. They also replaced a dying evergreen and again surrounded the root with a whole wheel barrow of black dirt. They put a good 4 inches of mulch all around the garden. They did not use heavy equipment so no damage was done to the sod. They cleaned up everything very well. Roberto is very professional and works very hard. I will hire him again and have him doing our seasonal maintenance."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Elkhorn, WI

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.
