"J&P was great to work with. Juan was very responsive to my emails and all my questions. He made good recommendations to improve our landscaping but wasn’t pushy. He got us on the schedule quickly, and the work was done promptly. In three days they had installed a new brick paver wall, completely reset and properly leveled our paver patio, trimmed/cleaned up all planting beds and put down new mulch. They even built a small pathway in our garden with our leftover brick. His team was professional and quick! Pricing was competitive. We have had several complements from the neighbors already - thanks J&P!"

"Dane did an amazing job. He was extremely friendly, talked through options with us for exterior lighting, gave a fair price that didn’t require haggling and came out to install the lights a couple days later. I highly recommend."

"They are AMAZING!!! I am so happy I found Luis and his team. Although my project is listed as "sod installation" it was a yard cleanup and front yard cleanup/tree trimming that I needed. They are super professional, efficient and fairly priced. Luis came out for an estimate and started work right away. Everything we agreed upon was done as per our agreement and Luis and the team very very flexible on additional requests and gave me a fair price for everything, They did A LOT of hard labor - pulling weeds, pulling shrubs and cutting down shrubs/trees. They were truly amazing and I couldn't be any more grateful for that! Luis is scheduled to continue my complete yard overhaul and I can't wait for the final product as my plans combined with his vision and expertise are sure to render an awesome outcome. I can't wait!"

"
  • We had the pond for many years and decide to make it into a pondless pond.
  • We researched companies and liked the video's we saw (youtube) of Hector's work.
  • On the first visit he talked with us about our desires and he suggested ways to implement our ideas.
  • The pondless pond is lovely and waaay better then I envisioned.....
  • Five Waterfalls and a meandering stream. He even added branches in the stream to give it a natural look.
  • Hectors crew was here everyday from 8:30 to 8 PM.
  • It took 6 days to complete. Usually 2 or 3 men would work and they were pleasant and professional.
  • The crew knew what they were doing in laying out the design and the artistry involved.
  • They would spend time putting rocks in a certain pattern, stand back and look at what was done and then go back and move everything till it was the way they wanted it. The process was amazing.
  • After the pondless pond was complete, I thought the main waterfall should be adjusted a little and called Hector. I left a message and before the day was done the men were here and adjusted the waterfall.
  • I also liked the fact that  Aerate 1 is a contractor for Aquascape Ponds which constructed our original pond.
  • Aerate 1, Hector and his men get 4 stars for a job very well done.
  • Thank you

Small jobs welcome

"I have been using Four Brothers Landscaping for three years now. They do everything related to landscaping! They installed my original sod and I paid roughly 1/2 what other providers were quoting. They have professionally installed paver patio for me and it looks fantastic! They prune my trees, bushes and schrubs and know how to do it the right way the first time. When they prune or mow my lawn the clippings are removed each and every week. They show up when they say they will show up. They stay until the job is done completely and have never delayed or made excuses. They are true professionals! Then, in the Spring, even before you are thinking about it, there is a knock on the door and they are there to arrange the dreaded after Winter clean up, resplenishing mulch, clearing away winter debris, dethatching and aerating to lawn. Really, they do it all and the price has always been fair and reasonable.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Lisle, IL

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.
