"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!"

"They completed the work in a timely manner, and it was done just as we asked. We appreciated that Urban Turf responded immediately to my request for an estimate, coming out the same day. And then installed the sod the next day. We would definitely recommend Urban Turf Lawncare and Landscaping. "

"From the beginning they were very courteous and professional. The project was to cut into the hill in back of house to make a level spot for a pool. I needed a 22'x14' flat spot. They built a wall 22'x5' tall with 14' wing walls. Level in the middle. Cleaned up nicely. Sod around the walls and grass seed Under hay where they smashed down yard. Hay blanket in flat area. Very pleased. Highly recommend LA Landscaping ! "

"Delgado Landscaping has been a true pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them for their excellent quality of work and fair pricing. Each project they did for us, they delivered more than we expected or was promised. Issac is a very talented and experienced landscaper and a pleasure to work with. His small crew are also professional and pleasant. We have been nothing but impressed both the staff and work of Delgado Landscaping. I wish I had thought to take before and after pictures of the orchard cleanup project. Their work was phenominal. Cliff F. 9/30/2022"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Lees Summit, 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.
