"We couldn’t be happier with the work Scenic View Landscaping did on our front yard! They helped transform the front yard. Communication throughout the project was excellent—they kept us updated every step of the way and were responsive to our questions.

"It went great. WC Landscaping has taken care of our property for the past 10+ years. They're professional in all areas of landscaping care and irrigation. This spring we put in over 325' of masonry walls and the work was beautifully done. Their employees that come to our home on a weekly basis are always, neat, pleasant, well dressed, polite and very respectful of our property. The equipment they use to perform their jobs is in very good shape and well maintained. We can also rely on them for related work, such as tree trimming or removal when necessary. Their pricing is always fair. It's just another reason why they've been our gardener of choice for so many years."

"Only got one month into services when Anthony Palmieri, the owner, left me a voicemail confirming services, then forgot to hang up the phone and proceeded to call me “f***king nuts” not once, but twice, and called his colleague Claudia over to continue to disparage me. My crime? Asking them to complete contracted services after noticing they hadn’t completed them during the first service. I see Anthony often responds to negative reviews and gaslights the reviewer - let’s see him do that when I have his bad behavior on voicemail. Anthony is deeply unprofessional, and his staff is equally rude. Hire any landscaper but this one. 0/10, would never recommend."

"Kenny and his team are wonderful--meticulous, thoughtful, professional, and just kind, good people. We hired them to install a gravel pit and flagstones and are so happy with our new backyard. We will be calling them back to do some plantings next year. Kenny was very responsive, helped flesh out our vision, and when something wasnt to his standards he came back with ideas to revamp it and work within our budget. A great experience overall. I would not hesitate to recommend."

"We needed to fix our property after we hired the wrong company to do our initial work to our home. Elite was recommended to us and we knew right from the start that victor was going to straighten all the issues we were left with after terminating our first contractor. I was hesitant at first, but this company proved to me there are still honest, hardworking,experienced contractors left out there. We had a mess but not any more thanks to Victor. 10 out of 10 Lois M"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Mount Vernon, NY

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.
