"Mark Higgins did a super job landscaping the front of our house and front yard bed. The front of our house now has "curb appeal" thanks to his recommendations. He and his crew did a great job clearing out the old plants and installing the new ones. Would definitely hire again."

Customers say: Quality work

"Fernando and his team with SAFE-FER Landscaping was recommended to us by a local nursery/business. We hired SAFE-FER Landscaping to work on our backyard - adding privacy with palm trees/plants, sod installation, and sprinkler system. Fernando is knowledgeable, a dedicated worker, and friendly. Fernando and his team have always done a great job. We have been very happy with their work, as it has transformed out outdoor living space. We plan to hire them again to help with hedging along the street side of our fencing and to spruce up our front yard. We would definitely recommend them."

"Aldo and David did professional work for a very reasonable price. They arrived when they said they would, and their four man crew (which includes Aldo and David) finished the same day. When the sodded area was being prepared, one of the workers found my gold wedding ring that had been lost for 3 years. He returned it to my wife. How many landscapers have this amount of honesty and integrity? I will hire them for their tree services in the future as will one of my neighbors who saw their work."

"We contacted Dakota and Southern Brothers Landscape Design to get a quote on remodeling our landscaping in Huntington at Safety Harbor. He showed up on time and brought his entire crew with him. He was my second quote and we walked the property while discussing expectations. He gave a fair price and could start immediately after agreeing. My lawn was serviced the same day and looked great. We discussed our future project of replacing old sod with new sod along with new azaleas. He quoted another fair price and we agreed to do the upgrade. The new sod looks great and cut good around the corners and green. His team dug out an old tree and replaced with new azaleas. The new azaleas on both sides of front door were planted in a strategic direction to bring the best look. Also completed new brown mulch on all the beds on the property with expert mulching. We are happy with the purchase and the service all of the employees. They are polite and respectful. Dakota always responds to texts with an answer. A++ Tommy Ming 727-262-4002"

"Richard showed up!! He worked with my husband and I and gave a great design and quote. He started almost immediately and worked very hard.. I had contacted 4 other landscapers. 3 came by, said they would work up a quote and send to me. Even after I text, called and emailed them after their appointment, they never responded again. One landscaper never showed for his appointment. Richard is by far the most professional and understands how to communicate. Very pleased."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Oldsmar, 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.
