"Nestor (Gallardo) was fantastic! I am so glad I found him. He was prompt, thorough, helpful and very polite. He did a great job for a reasonable price. I have already used his services twice and am planning to hire him in the Spring for other projects we have. Highly recommended!!"

"Awesome service.  Entire crew was very professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable when removing the limbs without any damage to either property.  The crew cleaned up all the debris so well, you wouldn't even know they were even there.  A couple looking at the house directly next door to mine, was so impressed that they asked for a business card to contact Briggs if they buy the home to have a huge cottonwood tree on the property taken down.  "

"I called Noah, owner of Cutting Edge Lawn Care LLC, with a project I needed done in like two days. I am renting out a property and the tenants move in date was June 1st. I literally called Noah on May 30th. Not only did he respond to my inquiry right away, he squeezed me in his very busy schedule and came out the very same day???! He was very accommodating and professional. He made sure to send me before and after pictures of his work since I wasn't able to physically be at the property. Not only does Noah, Cutting Edge Lawn Care Service provide lawn care services, he also does so many home maintenance projects. Give him a call. I definitely will be using Noah again in the future for home projects ??!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Munster, IN

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.
