"An amazing experience for my landscape lighting. From sales to scheduling to installation... All around a terrific experience and one that we’ve become used to with Tanzer. In the past, they've installed and modified our irrigation to perfection as well. The installers didn’t make a complete mess of the property, especially when they were digging the trenches. The sod was put back nicely, which is a HUGE deal for me. And they took their shoes off to go into the basement after working in mulch, grass and dirt. If you're looking for a landscape lighting and/or irrigation professional, they're the BEST!"

"We called Pat in to take a look at our situation. He was able to point out which trees and shrubs could be saved, which needed to be pruned, and which had to be removed. What I likes most is that Pat took a comprehensive approach, he looked at the whole property and came up with a vision for how it should look at its best. Step #1 was removal. Pat came with an experienced crew and they worked hard for a full day, removing two large truckloads of dead trees and overgrown shrubs. They also expertly pruned all of our leafy trees to return them to a healthy state and attractive appearance. Step #2 was reconstruction. Pat went to the nursery and purchased 14 new shrubs of different varieties. He had his crew re-cut the borders for the rock beds, and installed 8 tons of new decorative stone. Pat went beyond the basics, making sure that everything looked perfect. Here are the reasons why I think Wildlife is the best: (1) Pat is on the job-site the entire time to make sure that things go right. He doesn't cut corners or rush the job, he makes sure that the work is high quality and done properly. You can tell that he takes great pride in his work and wants the results to be excellent. (2) Pat's crew is very experienced, they do excellent work and clean up everything at the end. (3) Pat has the landscaping design talent to see the big picture; he saw the potential of our property, even though it started out as a mess, he had a vision for what is should look like. Pat was able to bring that vision to a very successful conclusion. This type of landscaping work requires a big investment, but I trusted Pat with that investment and we are very pleased with the results."

"The landscaping was done beautifully and all of the dirt from having my pool installed was removed. Alberto and his team completed the job quickly and efficiently. He planted four beautiful trees surrounded by river stone rocks as an added decor. I would highly recommend this company for any landscaping needs."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Jackson, NJ

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.
