"Shannon and crew were on time, professional, and courteous. When I needed an upgrade to my sprinkler system, they did that job on the same day they put down the sod; they knew what to do and hustled to get it all done. Shannon made a special trip to help me reset the sprinkler program. Our new lawn and shrubs look great, four weeks after installation. Their pricing is reasonable given their excellent work."

"Jonathan at Call a Treeman communicated well via AngiesList email and cell phone and provided a quick, reasonable estimate. I wasn't home to observe the whole process but I was told the crew of staff expertly removed the tree despite bad weather conditions. By the time I got home the tree was gone and the property was extremely clean. All debris were removed and my yard looked remarkable - I was stunned at how great my yard looked.
The next day the stump was grinded up which produced a ton of "mulch" or grindings. Unfortunately, my estimate did not include removal of stump grindings which I spent several days with neighbors having removed.
Call a Treeman will make sure you are happy before they accept any payment. They won't ask for half up front or any of the other tricks employed by some companies. They were loyal, honest, and worked extremely hard to have the hazardous tree removed safely.
I would highly recommend Call a Treeman however, make sure you get an estimate that includes removal of stump grindings as this is very labor intensive work.
I will be using them again to remove other sick trees on my property when the time comes.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Raiford, 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.
