"The representative came out that day and diagnosed the drain flies. He was so knowledgeable & was able to tell me how to prevent them from occurring again. He gave me lots of information all at no cost for the visit. I did hire Security Termite & Pest Control to treat our home quarterly for prevention of pests in our home. It has been refreshing to deal with such a customer service oriented company who knows what to do for all kinds of Florida pests! Thank you!"

"A chose Triton based upon their superior ratings on Angie's List and now I know why they have been so highly rated. This company is owned and managed by a gentleman who has impeccable honesty and expertise. He scheduled my service call within 3 days and arrived on time. He immediately determined the problem thereby not charging me for any unnecessary diagnostic fees. He was able to get the warranty to cover a replacement and only charged a fair and reasonable fee for the installation. I can assure you there are many companies who would have just charged me for a new controller. He checked the entire system and rearranged the watering rotation. He set the system to completely comply with water restrictions and was professional and totally knowledgeable. I would recommend Triton to anyone in SWFL who needs any services for irrigation systems. All I can say is that a company doesn't get on Angie's Super list unless they deserve it. I highly recommend Triton Irrigation Systems."

"We choose Bonsai Landscaping Inc.and dealt with the owners that performed all the work. We needed 1-2 palettes of sod, planting soil, and large full tropical plants around our newly built brick deck. We dealt with Benjamin, Adrian, & Efran who gave us a reasonable price and were all professional and courteous. My husband and I were very pleased with the quality of the sod, soil, and plants used for our job. These men take great pride in their companies customer satisfaction. This company exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend them to family and friends. After, our outstanding experience with Bonsai Landscaping inc. we hired them to maintain our property every month. Thank you all again, for getting the job done quickly and the superior workmanship. We are happy satisfied customers!!! Dr. David & Terry Brown"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Goodland, 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.
