The right residential landscaping can completely transform a lawn from nice to amazing. But proper landscaping can do much more than just provide aesthetic value. When done right, landscaping can elevate your home’s curb appeal, increase your home’s value, and improve the usability of your property. Residential landscaping from Land Escapes will combine natural beauty with function to create a personal sanctuary where you can relax and extend your living space into the outdoors. Land Escapes specializes in a variety of hardscaping elements, including colorful textured stamped concrete patios, retaining walls, paver patios, walkways, driveways, outdoor kitchens, courtyards, terraces, water features, benches, counters, fireplaces, pool decks, accent walls, edging, and more.

"Land Escapes worked two projects for me, landscaping and grass seeding in the front yard to increase our curb appeal and then poured a textured and stained patio to the side of the house. Both turned out to be fantastic thanks to great crews and largely, the vision of the designer, Laeken Frazier. Laeken was absolutely fantastic and you should ask for her services. My family will be requesting her again in the near future to upgrade our backyard."

"He killed my tree. I'm pretty upset by that. He also obviously didn't listen when going over what I wanted done and charged me extra for an area that was already supposed to be part of the estimate. I ended up doing 75% of that area myself. He's a really nice guy but I feel like he over extended himself with work and overlooked several things. We discussed him leaving a plant I wanted, he pulled it up as well. Not the worst job but certainly won't hire again. "

"Ramos Lawn installed landscape edgers around 3 sides of my home, laid weed barrier fabric, and filled with decorative rock. They listened to what I wanted, explained the process and sent me a quote within a few days. They showed up when they said they would, did an awesome job, and cleaned up after themselves. I am very happy with the end result and would hire them again!"

"Billy work great with us, providing a unique front landscape design for our newly constructed home. He was very flexible incorporating our thoughts on our plants along with his design. He and his crew completed the landscape, rain gutter drainage pipe to keep water away from the house and did a complete lawn irrigation system using the lake water for supply. He worked jointly with us and our neighbor for some joint water drainage. We have had numerous people asking who did our landscaping as it has good curb appeal. We have Paradise open and close our irrigation system and they are now doing 5 of our neighbors too. I would highly recommend Paradise Landscape."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Kansas City, MO

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.
