Customers say: Quick response

"I got L.A.S Landscaping Services through Angi. Luis Sandoval, owner of the company, came to our residence and sat down with my wife and I after conducting a thorough assessment of our lawn. He identified some of the issues with the lawn, which we were previously aware of, and discussed how he and his crew would pre-treat the lawn prior to installing the new lawn and steps he would follow to upgrade the current layout of the ground, prior to the installation of the new sod. The discussion we had with Luis was comforting based on his lawn care knowledge, maintenance, treatment after installation, and warranty. He also identified a lawn care specialist who would assist in maintaining the lawn after its installation due to the ineffectiveness of the one we previously had. At the end, Luis and his crew did an outstanding job in the prepping of the ground and installation of the new sod. They also ensured our sprinkler systems functioned appropriately and had the proper heads to effectively water our lawn. It was a pleasure knowing and having L.A.S Landscaping Service install our new lawn. We are truly satisfied with the results."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Ocklawaha, 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.
