"Due to illness in my family, my palms were terribly overgrown, I had tried to hire people to trim, but they had no idea of what they were doing, until I met Fernandez with International Green. there was more room to upload pictures you would see before and after. He even replaced one palm that was almost dead. They worked in a timely manner, cleaned up nice after finishing my front and back yard, I have 16 palms he trimmed today. I even had some I thought I would just dig up, but by the time he finished, I am so had I listened to him and let him trim them. I highly recommend International Green to anyone looking for a wonderful job and very reasonable price. Thanks again Fernandez and crew. Donna "

"We built a new home on an acre on some farmland and wanted to add some flowerbeds in the front yard near the road and on each side of the driveway. Their pricing was very fair and the quality of work was great. They walked us through the flower and plant selection process to find things we liked and that would grow and fill in nicely. They showed up when they said they would and took care to keep our driveway and yard free of damage. I highly recommend this business."

The crew finish the job completely and my husband and I could not have been happier with the work. No need to look any further if you are looking for a great and reasonable company. I have found the landscaping company that is quite honestly "Excellent"."

FAQs for sod installation projects in North Myrtle Beach, 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.
