"Starling responded to my request for a quote to remove leaves from our yard within minutes in person. (He was working in the area). He assessed the scope of work, gave a reasonable quote and returned the next day to complete the work. He was prompt and his team completed the work quickly and thoroughly. And they were all polite to boot! We will be using this company again for future work."

"I hired Eligio & Sons Masonry and Landscaping to build a retaining wall in my yard, and overall I?m really happy with how it turned out. The area had been sloping and starting to wash out, so we needed something solid to hold everything back. Eligio came out to take a look, explained a few options, and gave a fair estimate. The crew showed up when they said they would and got the job done in a reasonable amount of time. They worked hard and you could tell they knew what they were doing. The wall came out straight, solid, and looks a lot better than what was there before. They also cleaned up the area pretty well once the job was finished. Like any project there were a couple small details we talked through along the way, but Eligio was easy to communicate with and made sure things were done right. The finished retaining wall looks great and should hold up for a long time. I?d recommend Eligio & Sons if you?re looking for someone to do masonry or retaining wall work. "

"Took a while to get in touch with them, but once we were able to speak they came out to the house to provide a quote. The tree was removed the next morning. Overall, an efficient, well-run operation. I will consider them for future landscaping needs."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Hanscom Afb, MA

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.
