"My rock border was full of dirt and weeds. The guys took out the stones, cleaned them off on the driveway, put down new weed guard, then replaced the stones and added more to fill in. It looks like new! They also sawed down a couple of stumps and worked around my existing plants. Pleased with how it turned out!"

"We got a quick response from Jeremy Jensema with Professional Landscaping regarding our inquiry about his landscape design and installation services. We met up with Jeremy and told him about our upcoming project and desires. He listened to what we wanted, and provided us with really good recommendations and suggestions. We were very impressed with the speed, efficiency and professionalism that was provided. We feel that Jeremy went above and beyond our expectations, as he and his crew produced what we envisioned and more! We cannot say enough good things about Professional Landscaping!"

"Fiama and her team are spectacular cleaners! I hired them to do a deep cleaning of our house as a present for my wife and I and we were so impressed that we asked them to come back twice per month! Now, I'm no Karen, so I wasn't wiping my finger on the baseboards to check if they were dust free, so if that's the kind of clean you're looking for, I honestly can't tell you one way or another if this is it. But if you're a normal person looking to walk into your kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, or any room in your house, take it in with a deep refreshing breath, and a relaxing exhale, "aaaaaa," the Mom & Daughter Cleaning Service team is perfect for you! Seriously, hire them!!! My only complaint is that they left the Twin Cities, so I sure hope all of you Wisconsinites make their move worth it!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Fond Du Lac, 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.
