"If you're looking for someone who truly knows how to bring your landscape to life, look no further than Greenwork Landscapes! Wesley and his team completely transformed my home landscape and garden—clearing out weeds, reconfiguring the layout, extending the flower beds, installing irrigation, and laying fresh ground cover/mulch. Their attention to detail, hard work, and expertise made all the difference, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Now, my garden is not only beautiful but also set up for success. Highly recommend their work to anyone looking for top-notch landscaping!"

Customers say: Quick response

"We are so pleased that we went with Richard, Michelle and the team from Tradewinds! Not only were they the fairest price quote for my sod install, but they accommodated the installation of an irrigation system immediately as well. They were very professional and even entertained the non-stop questions and musings of our 3 y/o without any sign of irritation or loss of patience. I even commented to them that I'd have to pay them extra for "babysitting". Highly. Highly, Highly recommend!"

"Jake of Legacy responded immediately. The work requested was to build a 6 foot treated lumber shadow box gate between 2 brick columns. Jake listened attentively to everything that I had to say, and made good suggestions. Jake is a professional who is knowledgeable, respectful, and friendly. His quote for the job was most fair, and inexpensive. I highly recommend Jake/Legacy to everyone who is looking for a professional with excellent workmanship skills, and a good price. Also, and most important, Jake has good manners."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Hilton Head Island, 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.
