"A 10 STAR REVIEWâ ¦..Clement and his team did an amazing job with the sod installation. From the moment I spoke with him to schedule the consultation appointment, I knew his company was for me. He did not disappoint. His knowledge of this process was welcoming. Clement throughly explained the entire process. The contract he provided was impeccable and extremely detailed. He was honest, never pushy and availed himself for all questions and concerns. Clement was able to provide additional ideas to enhanced the yard. He suggested the use of pavers and it added a beautiful touch. Him and his team were able to tackle a troubled area that I thought had no hope. His attention to detail was impressive. His team was polite and professional. I never imagined that my yard was capable of looking as magnificent as it does. I highly recommend Clement and his team to anyone in the tri-state area seeking to transform a yard. His energy is a vibe"

"Right Lawn Care is great. They were going above and beyond to come see my backyard ASAP and to answer all the questions I had. I called one day, and next day morning I had an estimate with full explanation of what is needed and what will be done. The price seemed reasonable and included topsoil, sod and of course the labor.Extremly profesional and great customer service. Highly recommend!"

"Super fast and thorough but didn't take instruction well. Cut things they shouldn't have to move on quickly. $300 for a full backyard cleaning was a good price tho."

"The guys at Scenic View were a pleasure to work with. From the design through the completion of the project they were professional and took great care in the quality of their work. They installed a drain around my new pool, poured concrete, laid pavers and then finally did the landscaping with new lighting in the front and back and laid sod. The amount of compliments we have gotten from friends, family and neighbors has been great. Well worth it, and if I ever have work to do on my property I would not hesitate to use them again."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Queens, NY

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.
