If you are looking for a reliable, trustworthy and reputable pest control and lawn treatment company, you have found us. We handle anything from termites, small bugs and much more. There are very few projects we can't handle and we are licensed in residential and commercial pest control. Call North Florida Lawn & Pest, LLC, today for a free consultation!

"Called for estimate. Salesman Mike came out and looked at yard and we agreed on weed control both post and pre emergent. The first call the applicator did only the front yard and told me he did not have enough product to do the back and side yard as he had two more yards to do that day. I asked if he would return the next day and told no, in three weeks or so. This was not what any other company has ever done. I called office and they of course were sorry, and would send someone out. Before the other person came, got a call that said they noticed sucking insects on shrubs. I needed to have them treated, and told them I was aware that two types of trees/shrubs had a mild issue. However, the one could not be treated as it was still in dormancy and with no leaves, it would be useless to spray. The others were in full bloom and have to be treated when weather is cool and no blooming. He said okay so I thought he recognized there was a timing issue on treatment. "

FAQs for sod installation projects in Saint Johns, 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.
