"Excellent! I can't say enough good things about this project. We live in a 1920 Dutch Colonial, our walkway was falling apart. Miguel gave us samples to look at that would match our front Brick porch. The brickyard he sent us to allowed us to bring samples home to compare. He ordered what we wanted and within 4 days began the project. He came early in the morning and stayed well into the evening and completed the job in 2 days from demolition and removal of the old walk to the installation of the new one. He seeded the lawn that edged it. We selected him because he a patio and driveway and walkway for our nextdoor neighbors. We've lived here since 1974 and people trust the contractors we use. We highly recommend him and we always like to hire local owner operated businesses. For an additional fee he planted 2 trees in the front of the house. We are very satisfied."

"Pat knows his stuff! He was on time; professional; told us exactly what needed to be done; how he would do it; when he would do it; and where to obtain/select the stones (that was an extra cost of about $3000 on top of his work) he would install. We felt very confident in him, and he really came through! He called us every day to keep in touch as to the next phase and the progress he was making. His crew took great care in placing/setting the stones. He came back to make sure we were satisfied. YES! Get your other quotes and then just hire him! (That's what we did.)"

"Too well - I'm spoiled The owner is a good listener and follows through as promised. Due to a sprained leg, I had to temporarily turn this job over to him, and he agreed to work with me."

"Antonio and his coworker showed up on time and removed an entertainment center and a large sectional sofa from our house. They worked quickly and cleaned up afterward.  They were very professional and courteous.

"I finally signed up with Angies list after having bad experiences with two other contractors on an insurance claim (we had a bad shower pan that would leak into the living room), one of these contractors was recommended by the insurance company.  I figured this would be a better way to go since i could read recommendations (i was right).  I called three companies.  The first got back to me and said he was booked til about April, the second came out and was professional and provided me with an estimate a few days later, and Italo came out and gave me an estimate on the spot.  Throughout this project everyone always quoted me a few days later by email, which was fine, but Italo quoted me on the SPOT!!  And his quote was a few hundred dollars cheaper!!  He came out each day at the time he gave me with the exception of one day that he called me hours ahead of time and said he wasnt feeling well so I didnt waste  my day waiting for him.  And he came out on Saturday to finish the job, which i thought contractors never do.  The job is a beautiful shower, and after not being able to use my shower stall for 7 years I now can!!  I will defintely be calling him back for some more work in the future

"John Beck called before he arrived with his crew.  They cleared my property of leaves, raking where necessary.  They removed piles of brush and cleaned my gutters.  My yard looked like it would on a summer's day - spotless!  John even worked with an injured hand.  I received a very reasonable rate for spring lawn care.  I will definitely be using Beck's Landscaping services next year."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Prospect Park, PA

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.
