"Curtis and his crew were exceptional. There were no surprises or upsets-just a lovely crew that obviously cared deeply about making everything come out fantastic. They were hardworking, fastidious about the cleanup and ensuring everything was completed to our satisfaction. What really impressed me was that we did have around a quarter of a pallet of left-over sod. Curtis asked my husband what he wanted to do with it and my husband wanted to give it to our elderly neighbor who had a couple of significant bad areas in his front lawn. Curtis and his crew tore out the bad areas and resodded them at no charge. Now THAT is what I call exceptional service! When we are ready to rip out the back lawn, we will definitely be using this professional again."

"James and his crew were very professional and did an amazing job on our yard. He cleared our yard, laid the sod down the same day and left no debris. It has been 3 months and the sod still looks amazing. We are very pleased with our yard and would recommend the Groundâ s Guys to anyone interested in getting sod installed."

"The specific project was front lawn sod install. I'd received an HOA violation about dead sod and needed to clear the violation ASAP. I also hired for lawn fertilizing/pest control, and irrigation service. Excellent, timely service & excellent experience from estimate (Mike), irrigation marking (Anthony), lawn/tree fertilizing (Brad), irrigation service (Paul), and sod install (sod team). Appreciate timely text reminders the day before service is to be done. Highly recommend!"

"I hired Niles and his team at Grass Gremlins to install a new irrigation system and couldn’t be happier. Niles responded quickly and came out the next day for a quote—others took weeks or charged just to show up. Grass Gremlins had the best price for such a big job. Niles was knowledgeable, honest, and never pushy. He even helped coordinate the pump and well replacement, which other companies left to me. I added another zone last minute, and Niles was patient and accommodating. His team was respectful, professional, and incredibly hardworking—they started early, stayed late, and finished in three days. Everything was cleaned up perfectly, and Niles took the time to explain every step clearly. I highly recommend Niles and his team!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Jacksonville, 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.
