Outdoor Elegance is your trusted landscaping company serving the Naples, FL and surrounding areas. We have many years of experience and do high quality work. We are prompt, professional and reliable with an emphasis on excellent customer service.
"I called Outdoor Elegance for a Landscaping quote and also needed Sprinkler system install which was listed on their website under specialty experience and with Angies list. While I was getting other landscaping quotes Derek Enkes, the foreman/manager said I might as well get the sprinkler system installed as I would need it for the new plants no matter what. So he gave me a verbal quote which seemed a little high but Outdoor Elegance had a good name so I told him to do it. He did tell me that he would be sub-contracting out the work to one of his former employees who did excellent work. He talked me into going with an above the ground pump instead of a submersible pump because he said he had the same pump on his system at his house and it was great and it was easier to service. Not knowing any better I OKed it. When they were installing the pump I noticed that they simply cut off the pipe that the old submersible pump was on and never lenthened the pipe to make up for the 3 ft they cut off. Derek said it was OK that that would not make any difference. My first clue that they did not have the experience they told me they did was when they could not get the pump to prime and forgot to put a check valve on the line. They left and came back with a check valve and after some other adjustments finally got the pump working and changed out some sprinkler heads. Part of the agreement was to locate all of the valves and heads and put them on a drawing so they could easily be located. They located and uncovered everything but did not give me a drawing as agreed to. They dsiad the sprinkler guy would come back and do that after I paid them. He never did come back and complete that part even after several calls to Derek about it. By the way when he asked for a check for doing the work I was going to make it out to Outdoor Elegance who I thought I was hiring and he said no to make it out to him. I also called Outdoor Elegance and talked to a lady who was the owner to get Derek and she basically told me that if Derek ran it through his own company that they could not control that. Then less than 5 months after installing the pump it went out of prime twice going through the cycles many times with no water flowing and burned the pump up. I called in the neighbors sprinkler guy and he said that it was not installed correctly, that the area where the lines went in and out of the pump were leaking badly causing it to loose prime. He also said the shortening of the pipe probably didn't help either since in the dry season the water level goes down. I called Derek twice and he told me he was getting surgery and could not help me until he healed and would call me back. He never called me back so I had someone else install a submersible pump which should have been installed in the first place. Of the $2200 that I paid Derek I asked for the $600 back for the pump and he hung up on me and would never answer the phone again. Derek Enkes over promises and under delivers. If you are considering Outdoor Elegance or anything Derek Enkes has anything to do with, run for the hills as you are about to be had."

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.
