"I own several properties and Brian's guys have done almost every type of landscaping job for me over the years including general maintenance, new lawn seeding, spring and fall clean ups, bush trimming, pruning, tree removal, brush clearing, rock sculpturing, building retaining walls, and installing Belgium block. My most recent major project involved clearing over two acres of land of high brush, wild plants and trees, which required the use of a wood chipper for a month. I feel like I have a new property. It looks great, it is now useable for my kids and grandchildren to play and the value has increased tremendously. Brian is easy to talk to and he always manages to stay within my budget. His workers are professional and always eager to please and they don't mind redoing things when I have a design change. Really, I have not once been disappointed with their work and as my wife would say I am not easy to please. The one thing I should leave with is that it is important to book early since Brian gets real busy in the Spring and scheduling may get difficult for a big job if you are not booked. Or, you can do what I often do and have him work in the winter if the project allows it. It could also save you money as well. --"

"Chris and his team did a phenomenal job giving the exterior of my yard a total revamp. Chris was extremely thorough about the whole process. He was a pleasure to work with. I had pavers installed as a walkway, they designed and built my front porch, with flowers, stone and mulch all intertwined in a complete landscaping job. I couldn t be happier. Thank you Chris and your team for your services. I look forward to the upkeep of you maintaining my yard."

"Installation crew worked very hard to complete the installation in a single day. We walked the property and discussed everything that was not defined in the initial plan. The final plumbing and setup steps were done quickly and efficiently. The crew tested each zone and adjusted the sprinkler heads for max coverage."

"Molina's came out same day I called for estimate. They gave me a fair price and came within the week to do the job. They were right on time-were very professional and got that tree down quickly. I was amazed at how hard they worked, they knew what they were doing and cleaned up after they were done. They even let me keep the wood, and they stacked it nicely. Can't say enough nice things about them!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in New Windsor, 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.
