"They are absolute pros. I was quoted a fair price for old grass removal, prepping and re-installation of new sod. They even fixed the sprinkler system and trimmed 2 palm trees. The work was completed fast (2 days) and took all of the debris with them. Would definitely contract them again for future lawn work!"

"Kasey’s team came on time, worked hard, finished as promised and left me with a new lawn area more beautiful than before the construction of that area installing new leach lines. His crew demonstrated great respect to the outside spaces, paver walkways, gardens. I plan to hire his crew again for future projects."

"My elderly parents hired Cameron off of this site, he was really nice when we met but every time they came to mow the lawn they broke something or messed something up, it?s like the did the quickest job to just get it over with. They weed whacked our brand new $8k AC unit and we had to go without any AC and hire repairman. They kicked our gate and broke the bottom Of the board and never replaced it. They blew so much grass into our pool we had to pay to have our filters replaced! Every time my dad tried to call him it went straight to vm but it was always full. I finally was able to catch him when he showed up and said hey my parents need to be able to reach you and he was GRUFF and RUDE, very defensive. Huge red flag. My dad wanted to fire him but was concerned he?d flip out. I sent him a text stating we no longer wanted to have him do our lawn but he needed to repair what they broke- which he agreed to. Still waiting for him to keep his word. *he was hired for LAWN CARE"

"Response was quick for the fault in my irrigation system. He was able to show up same day the issue occured. I never plan to use the system itself and he was able to disconnect it, leaving the main components if a future home owner wants to use it. Super respectful, responsive, and friendly with fair price."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Pensacola, 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.
