"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!"

"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 have hired Aerate 1 several times and have always been thrilled with their work. They planted a tree and provided pruning after the tree matured. They surrounded our above ground pool with drainage covered by pea gravel inside brick, and installed a paver walkway to the pool's heater. They landscaped the front and side with mulch inside brick. Every time they do work they make the site look better than when they arrived, even in areas only slightly impacted by their work. I highly recommend their company due to their excellent work and commitment to keeping their promises about when and what will be done!"

"The team of four workers with the owner showed up right on time 8:30 am and started work. I had an errand at 7:00am ,so we communicated by text/email and mobile that the could start before I got back this morning. They were already done with the edging, weeding and removal of sod in the new bed along the fence. Since we have rows of Daffodils planted, they carefully removed sod and weeded around about 100 Tulips and daffodils. (It was amazing). They power raked, aerated and completely cleaned up my yard and put in very high quality Mulch that looks fantastic. It is a family business and the whole operation was very efficient and they cleaned up nicely before leaving. With the current shortage of labor, I had been trying for weeks to get a landscaper to return a call. Four Brothers are a great outfit and I plan to bring them out in the fall to remove a tree and install some more bushes. I strongly recommend them."

"Dominick and his crew did a great job regarding our yard and installing about 9,000 s.f. of sod. The communication was key and they did a great job and on time. I am so glad we found him by accident on Home Advisor and will have him back next spring for other projects."

"KLI did a great job with our sod and landscaping our yard after we installed a pool. Jerry had great follow through, despite being very busy. He worked hard to keep our project within budget while still making our yard look amazing. Jerry has even been keeping in touch after the project was completed and fully paid, just to check in with us. We had some struggling sod so he came by and replaced it and put down organic fertilizer, both at no additional cost to us. We will definitely be using KLI for future landscaping projects and we highly recommend them."

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.
