"If anyone is looking for a company to lay sod, I HIGHLY recommend these guys at N&l Landscapes! I got a bunch of quotes from 10+ other local companies and these guys were one of the lower quotes. They weren't the lowest, but I could definitely tell they had the best customer service and were the easiest/fastest with their communication! Which, in my book, is always worth the extra cost! The new lawn looks amazing! They were able to grade the entire lawn to make low points higher to avoid puddling, and they managed to cover tree roots that were sticking up! I'm already telling everyone about them!"

"ZR Landscaping was phenomenal. I could not have worked with a more professional company. Always on time and worked efficiently to complete the job. We had a flagstone walkway installed, sod, grass mat, landscaping for the entire front and back yard and to top it off, the most beautiful river rock ditch. Andy and or Zack was on hand every day for supervision and any changes were verified with us immediately. They were also great with recommendations and very trustworthy."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Jessamine Landscaping for some much-needed updates to my new home's yard, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final touches, Lex and his crew were absolutely fantastic. They were incredibly professional, communicative, and genuinely cared about making sure I was satisfied with every aspect of the project. They installed new sod for me, and it looks absolutely amazing! The team worked efficiently and diligently, transforming my bare yard into a lush, green space in no time. What impressed me most was their attention to detail and how clean they kept the work area throughout the entire process. They were respectful of my property and left everything tidy at the end of the job. Beyond their excellent workmanship, Jessamine Landscaping also offered a very reasonable price for the services provided. I felt like I received exceptional value for my investment. Whether you're looking for landscaping, irrigation work, new sod, or all of the above, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessamine Landscaping. Lex and his team are true professionals who deliver outstanding results. You won't be disappointed!"

"M and P Landscaping installed 5 irrigation zones, sodded one side of my property, and removed several tree stumps. They were prompt, hard-working, and did a great job! I will definitely hire them again if I need another project done."

Customers say: Quick response

"I had them spread 24 bales of pine straw mulch. They came quickly after I hired them and brought all the mulch with them. They had the 24 bales spread in about 1-1/2 hours. They were very courteous and friendly. The only small negative is that I would have spread the mulch a little thicker but I am a nit picker and that would have cost me more money. Overall I was very pleased and would recommend them. This is the first time I used them."
A job well done!

FAQs for sod installation projects in Greenville, SC

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.
