"We found Modern Cuts here on Angie's List. I called Antonio, the President of the company and he was able to come to my home that same day and do a walkthrough. Antonio and I talked about what needed to be done and I became aware that all of the work needed/desired would exceed my budget. Antonio was able to break the estimates down into standalone jobs that could be completed as my finances allowed. That very night there was an estimate of work that needed to be done as well as how it could be broken down into financially manageable pieces in my email inbox. After reviewing the pricing with my husband, we called Antonio and scheduled the biggest part of the jobs first: the Areca trimming/ stump grinding and sod installation of brand new St. Augustine grass. Modern Cuts was able to do the entire job in just three days. At the time of this writing I am looking out at my new lawn and beautifully trimmed palm trees and I couldn't be happier. My husband and I have decided to hire Modern Cuts to provide our regular lawn maintenance/ pest control and tree/ shrub trimming services. We look forward to a great relationship with Modern Cuts and the Best Looking Lawn in the Neighborhood!"

"Justin and his crew did a great job! They installed our sod and a brick patio in the front of our house. They finished everything in one day. His pricing was very reasonable and he communicated with us quickly throughout the whole process. We will have him back to landscape our front yard. We highly recommend using Justin for any landscaping projects."

FAQs for sod installation projects in North Fort Myers, FL

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.
