"David and Francisco did a great job covering my front stoop with brick pavers, creating an additional step, and adding brick paver aprons to my existing concrete walk. They also installed mulch in some of my plant beds. I am very pleased with their work. Don’t hesitate to hire."

"GREAT JOB!!! Victor and his team were wonderful. Responded promptly. Came over to discuss project. Sent very reasonable quote of exactly what we needed. We estimated an approximate start date, but weather delayed by two days. Victor politely contacted me each morning to discuss weather. I can be a bit of a pain, adding to the project before they started and requested a couple of minor changes after they started. Victor was an absolute professional. They installed some yard drainage, a flagstone/river rock landing with walkway, some bushes, plants, mulch, and sod. It is beautiful and I have received many compliments after posting pics on facebook. We are requesting quote for tree trimming. Victor will definitely be on our repeat call back list...first priority on all projects."

"The team was great! They were prompt, friendly, and such hard workers! We were very pleased with all that they did--removed two very large bushes, two smaller ones, and a huge evergreen tree which had been blocking our view of the street. They planted eleven smaller bushes, which changed the appearance of our house greatly! They cleaned up everything, hauled it all away, and finished the project in about four hours! They are so good at what they do--we will be calling them again for sure!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Plainfield, IL

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.
