"Sergio's has just been here two times. The first time he mowed a small overgrown lawn and the second he pruned some overgrown rhodies. I feel comfortable deciding together with him what I want to have done, balancing his advice with my own goals. His services are reasonably priced. My lawn is finally in competent, trustworthy hands."

"Roberto was really efficient, very pleasant , he came out when he said he would , I had already scheduled a contractor for today Thursday , made time and no show , no text no call I chased them and they gave me a barrage of excuses as to why . Roberto was on the ball , communication was great very professional. I had my tree limbs ( which were very high) trimmed right back these were over my deck , trees on the side of the house which were pretty high . The dogwood tree cut right back , the hedge really trimmed back and the cherry tree at the front of the house paired back . They were here for nearly 7 hours . The price was the best I had out of 4 quotes , he was also the most credible and pleasant . I’m a single woman and had no worries what so ever , he constantly checked in to make sure we were on track . The clean up and the removal was perfect . I gave a 5 star because they were the best service provider that I’ve had in a long time . They deserve their success . . I could no"

"Arliano’s Landscaping handled our challenging landscape with ease. We live in Pine Hill on a treacherous rocky and hilly landscape. We have a lot that needed to be graded. We were looking to have a yard one day and Aliano made it happen with his team and expertise! He removed tree stumps, cut into the rocks to make it esthetically beautiful, smoother , and safer to walk by. He also made a stone pathway. The area is completely transformed and it is on steep hill. He also spoke to our neighbors about the work he was doing and made everything easier. I highly recommend you give him a call. He is high professional and reasonably priced. He also knows gives good advice for maintaining the work done. We had many landscapers come and try to get our project done. Some over promise and some don't even call back. Arliano is truthful and honest and did an outstanding job on the hill!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Peabody, MA

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.
