"We were looking for a complete lawn care (mowing, seeding, fertilizing, etc.). I really wanted someone to just take care of it because of our busy schedules. We found Kale Lawn Care on Angies list. They scheduled a time to come by, they heard my concerns with the previous company we were using and we developed a plan to make the yard look good. We've been using them for almost two months and super happy with their level of professionalism and work so far. We also had them do a clean up of leaves and weeds to get the place looking nice and the crew they sent out was very courteous and did a fantastic job. Would definitely recommend using Kale Lawn Care."

"Matt Clark, owner of New England Hardscapes and Landscapes is among the most honest, diligent, creative, reliable and friendly contractors I've ever hired. Matt has a creative eye and only does work with the highest quality. He helped me design and then install terracing in my backyard. I could not have asked for a better outcome. The workmanship is outstanding and of the highest quality and value. I 100% recommend Matt to anyone looking for an honest and talented artisan."

"Jose did an installation of my irrigation system and also fine tuned the sprinkler heads. He was reasonably priced and did a great job. After a few weeks, I had to fine tune the sprinkler heads. He initially assisted me over the phone and also visited the house next day to do the tuning. I’d confidently recommend Jose to others who are in need of the landscaping services."

"Gerardo provided us with a quote for a portion of our backyard which was very muddy and swampy. He recommended a drainage system which he and his crew installed. they did an excellent job inserting drainages, pipes and sodding most of that area. now when it rains water does not collect there but flows well. we're happy with his work. That portion was completed. however, there is still sodding to be put on in another area. We would recommend Gerardo to others."

"Excellent. John has completely redone our front yard (complete reseeding), planted trees/shrubs, performed fall and spring clean-up, and has begun solving land erosion issues at my work. I cannot recommend Trinity Lawn + Pool Solutions enough."

"I highly recommend Corona Landscaping!! They landscaped a large hill on our property (which included installing two sets of stairs), created a paved/brick walkway to match a patio already in place, and installed multiple drain lines to direct water on our property away from the driveway when it rains. Miguel and his crew are very professional, listened to our ideas and made wonderful suggestions regarding our projects. The crew worked continuously from beginning to end of the project until it was completed to our satisfaction. Wonderful experience overall, and will be contacting them for landscaping needs in the future!!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Monroe, NC

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.
