"It has been weeks since the work has been “completed “and yet they still haven’t finished the job. They left a large space in need of repair I’ll apparently have to do myself. They supplied only two variety of plants. He recommended lava rock based on the color of my house, which they did supply. However, it is so spread unevenly. I will have to now buy a steel rake and go out and fix their mistakes. After complaining, about no border from the rocks and lawn, the owner himself came to install the cheapest black plastic border and look at the work. The workers he sent were very diligent and hard-working, but obviously did not have any design experience in the end. After paying $2400 for this very small job, I expected it to look at least professional. But instead, it looks like a DIY job. It’s very disappointing that they consider design as part of their companies name."

"He came and cleaned up dead debris from winter freeze. Repotted Cana lilies and put annual flowers in pots. Put mulch down. He did it all before my company came to visit! I appreciated his due diligence! He came back and made sure sidewalks were cleaned up. The yard was a mess and it looked beautiful when he finished!"

"I’ve now how my sod for a year and a half and I am CONSTANTLY having lawn issues. I’ve had lawn pro after lawn pro come out and all tell me the same thing, “whoever installed your sod didn’t do a good job, the sod is of very poor quality”. I spent over $10k for my landscape job with this company and wanted to have the best lawn in the neighborhood. Instead I have constant problems and have spend lots of $$$ trying to fix THEIR MISTAKES. Stay away from C&L Landscaping."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Hastings, 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.
