"I couldn’t be happier with this company’s work. The Blue Star team installed a paver patio, built a retaining wall, and did some landscaping and planting. Rodrigo was responsive and was very helpful when it came to materials advice or any other questions. His prices are very fair as well. I highly recommend Blue Star Landscaping and Construction!"

"Marino and his crew started the job of felling 3 large spruce trees and grinding down a total of 8 tree stumps at 9am. They worked extremely hard; even while it was lightly raining later that day. The crew finished up around 9 hours later. The most impressive thing about the crew was not only finishing such a massive job in one day but their eagerness to please. Afterwards they made certain that all branches and tree trunks were taken away. I would hire Oasis again in a heartbeat. Very reasonable price as well."

"Had them fill in my back yard with soil and then sod to match the level of a new poured concrete patio. Turned out great. The grading is a nice smooth transition from my patio to yard now instead of a 2ft drop. They were very timely, and affordable. Will definately reach out to them again for future projects."

"I called them for junk removal, but I’m 90% sure I accidentally hired a search-and-rescue team. They rolled up in a gleaming GMC truck, hopped out like they were on a mission, and dove into my garage like it was an archeological dig. Ten minutes in, they ‘rescued’ a recliner that had been buried so long I think it gained sentience. Then they pulled out a box labeled ‘Important Documents’… which turned out to be 300 Taco Bell sauce packets from 2004. They handled it like hazardous material, loading it onto the trailer with tongs. By the time they finished, my garage was cleaner than when I bought the house. I half expected them to hand me a medal for “Most Dramatic Transformation.” If they start offering to clean up my life choices, I’m signing up immediately."

"At our initial conversation I was extremely impressed with Jack’s knowledge and expertise. When his crew got to work it was clear that they are very hard workers also very knowledgeable. They take pride in their work and the end product is outstanding. The wall they completed was extremely challenging. I would hire them again in a heart beat. The pathway is stunning and they improved the layout of our yard. You would not go wrong to hire them."

FAQs for sod installation projects in New Berlin, WI

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.
