"The contractor and crew did a fabulous job of installing a permeable paved driveway and retaining wall. They were respectful of me, my time and property. They kept me updated and explained each phase of the project. I’m very very pleased with the company and the completed project. I highly recommend this company and would definitely use them again."

"Excellent. For such a large project, it made sense to plan it out. We paid for a design and went back and forth a few times. Cleber and Angela are the owners and experienced designers, which made the process go very well. They came out to discuss the project with my wife and me several times. Bryan supervised the work and was hands on. His skill and expertise made a big difference, for example in ensuring the yard was inclined correctly to drain water away from the house. Unusual amounts of rain unfortunately dragged out the project by a few weeks but that was not Xtracare’s fault. Xtracare was particularly impressive in two areas: the excellent quality of their installation and their customer service and responsiveness. I found it very easy to contact the office and was confident I would hear back right away. The final result continues to be very satisfying. We turned an ugly parking lot in front of our house into a new space that we can enjoy. Neighbors repeatedly tell us how nice it looks. We also received the maximum rebate of $2,500 from the Montgomery County Rainscapes program, which was very easy to apply for. We qualified for the pavement removal and for adding sod. Don’t hesitate to apply for the rebate. And don’t hesitate to use Xtracare for any project, large or small!"

"Edwin and his team of 7 workers were fantastic. Completely remove old yard grass and dirt all by hand (and hauled away), added topsoil, leveled/graded new soil, and installed new freshly cut sod from that morning. New yard looks fantastic. Was truly impressed they completed entire project in just under four hours. Completely and thoroughly cleaned street and work area upon completion of job. Additionally, Edwin called me back within 4 hours of my request on Angi on the weekend and came out first thing Monday to provide an estimate. Requested two other estimates, one never contacted me, and other could not come for another week. Speed and professionalism on all ends of the transaction were outstanding."

"Patrick came out and discussed the project. A couple of days later he provided the suggested work date. All went according to plan. Team was on time, professional and courteous. When I indicated that there were some areas that I expected to be sodded but weren't, Patrick stated that would be done at cost of sod, no additional labor cost. I'm a very satisfied customer."

"Excellent service and install all around! Vernon Jones was so responsive and professional, and they took great care navigating some challenges with a shared fence. His team was incredible! Complete dismantling of an old fence and install of a new one in one day! The product/fence is beautiful and the price much lower than area companies. Thank you, Vernon and team!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Fort Myer, VA

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.
