"Marvin and the team did an amazing job in our yard! They went above & beyond to help us resolve a drainage issue in addition to the turf that we were having installed. The turf looks even better than we expected and they completed the project quickly and without any problems. The guys were professional and left the work areas immaculate at the end of each day. We wish we'd had this done sooner!! Our dog, Molly, is beyond happy in her new yard! We will definitely be calling them again for more projects!"

"Isaac was fantastic in supervising the installation of my concrete patio. The crew worked hard in the hot sun and it shows. It looks beautiful and they cleaned up everything, including a fallen tree branch from a recent storm! Would hire D & S again!"

"We are thrilled with the end result and the entire process. The pavers were installed by a quality team as described for a more than reasonable price. And they look GREAT. While excavating, the team found the filter pipes too close to the surface. They took the time to hand dig the pipes deep enough so the pavers could be properly installed. We will use Scenic View for all of our landscaping needs. Thank you Frank and team."

"Installation crew worked very hard to complete the installation in a single day. We walked the property and discussed everything that was not defined in the initial plan. The final plumbing and setup steps were done quickly and efficiently. The crew tested each zone and adjusted the sprinkler heads for max coverage."

"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."

"Steve and his crew were very good. From start to finish it was a pleasure dealing with this company, very responsive, on time every day which was important as I have children to and from school and other daily activities. They completed the project and did so within budget. Was very happy with the results and would recommend to friends and family. The work was performed to our standards, and they were capable of doing all phases to include new insulation, new sheet rock walls, and trim and insulating, and painting. This was very convenient as it cut down on my time to find and review and hire multiple contractors."

"Alex exceeded expectations: Left a VM during this busy time and got a call within 24
hours. Truck showed up the following day and did the work. I contacted
Double Tree last thinking that it would be the most costly....Turned out
they were the lowest price and the only company willing to show up
quickly."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Milltown, 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.
