"Juan and his crew where nothing short of spectacular. They were efficient, professional, courteous and provided the necessary recommendations to complete my project. They cleaned, prepared and installed over 1800 sq feet of sod; planted fourteen 7 gallon Clusias; and laid down 2 yards of river rock borders in a single day. They are reasonably priced - they came within $175 of what I thought the project should cost. I am so happy with the work that I want them to do the regular maintenance of my yard. You would do well to hire the Grounds Guys for your project."

"Green Grass 3 installed sod today in my yard and the company is terrific! Green Grass 3 turned out to be very reliable and the sod that they installed was very high quality. The company is very responsible and reasonable and they come to the project well prepared. They absolutely know what they are doing. They are honest and I trust them very much. I will be very happy to hire them again for future projects. If I could give them more than a 5 star rating I would. Thank you Green Grass 3 for a job well done. 👍🏻"

"Five-Star Review: Rodriguez Landscaping and Garden Design. The owner and his team did a fantastic job mulching, sodding, and relocating two large landscape rocks. They handle a variety of landscaping tasks, including tree pruning and mowing, and they take pride in their work. I highly recommend Rodriguez Landscaping, 786-738-4339. — T. Thompson"

"We used The Ground Guys of Kendall for sod of our entire backyard, as well as planting a hedge. This was after a pool installation. First, want to say that once I asked for a quote they came out within the week and had a proposal within a couple of days. They were sure to have site inspection and always honest about their pricing. Compared to all other quotes, they were fair from the start and no need to negotiate. Second, they took such good care of our property. We were shocked to see the quality and detail when they were done. They over delivered on their work and we were so grateful. The entire crew really cares about their work and the results. Juan was our primary contact and he was very knowledgeable, responsive and available. Payment options were also very good. I highly recommend Juan and his team for any home."

"I am not one to write reviews but my landscaper deserves recognition. I hired Noro Lawn Care to cut my lawn and trim the hedges I have that were overgrown. I dont think I have ever seen my home look so beautiful. He even added some mulch around my little tree for a finishing touch. The attention to detail was unmatched and his response is immediate and extremely professional. I loved his services so much, I have hired him for my rental properties and couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend (and already have recommended to everyone I know!). Thanks Robert, great working with you!"

"The Kele Services team was profession, efficient, and did an excellent job. I hired them to re-sod our back yard and was fully satisfied with the work they did. They transformed our yard into a beautiful place that we now love! They even had a little extra sod and used that to re-sod our small front area. I’m so pleased that I’ve asked them for regular lawn servicing. 10/10 I would hire them."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Kendall, 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.
