"I would highly recommend International Green. Mr Fernandez and his team completed a drainage install project, sod removal and reinstall, removed bushes, trimmed bushes and raised/repaired some irrigation sprinkler heads. Extremely hard working and excellent value for work completed. Mr Fernandez responded and provided the quote right away, completed the project quickly and on budget."

"I had an unusual situation where I had 10 pallets of sod delivered but the contractors who were supposed to install the sod were a "no show" and their phone lines were no longer operable. I looked for a company who would be willing to do the job if the contractors did not show up today. Jose called me and he and his crew were willing to jump on my project if the contractor was a "no show" again today. As it turned out the original contractor did show up and did the work so I did not have a need for Affordable Landscaping after all. But, I wanted to leave a 5 star review based solely on my conversation with Jose and his willingness to help me out in a bind. Character is something I consider very important in a person and Jose is a person of good character. I will definitely use them in the future. Very dependable."

"Sod was put down about 1 inch apart. Probably due to ordering less sod than originally planned. Topsoil in original quote was not spread, only a little peat moss. Suppose to have 3 laborers, only had 2 which then meant 2 days to finish. Sod on pallets for an extra day was dried out (some) and not doing as well as rest of sod. Installation was delayed twice due to sod not being available and a mix up on when to be delivered. Sod was not ordered until day before required delivery (poor management). We were originally told that St. Augustine would be used for our shady lot but it was switched to Bermuda without our knowledge, Then we were told that Bermuda was what we agreed to from day one. We were really being called liars. However, Bermuda was on estimate but we were of the impression that maybe St. Augustine was a kind of Bermuda. Josh and the two laborers were very hard workers and were great. Summary: 6 pallets turned out to be 4, 3 Laborers turned out to be 2, and topsoil turned out to be a small amount of peat moss."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Murrells Inlet, SC

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.
