"We hired Rock N Gardens to install Unilock patio pavers in my backyard. During the entire process, Keagan was very professional and knowledgeable about the construction and design of the new patio. He made very good suggestions on how to design the layout of the pavers and the brick edging. He also recommended a different layout in the midst of the project when we realized I had not ordered enough pavers. Keagan was always available to answer our questions and to address our concerns. He always returned my calls and texts and was very patient with us. We had no experience installing a patio and Keagan helped us address our questions and concerns. The final patio looks great and the workmanship was outstanding. He went to great lengths to make all of the pavers line up and align well. I recommend Rock N Gardens for future residential landscaping projects because Keagan is good to work with and he can be trusted, and he will deliver a good product."

"Jacob was the first to respond and show up to review and quote the job. His follow up was quick and was responsive to questions asked. The quote was accurate. His workers were very hard working and accomplished much in a short period of time. My project took a day and half to complete. Jacob did a walk around after to go over and things I might have had concerns with. All the clean up was handled well and left our place looking great! Highly recommended!"

"My husband explained to Alan from Westside what we wanted done. Alan explained the best way to do the project. He was very impressed  with his knowledge of the various projects we proposed. Alan got back with a competitive and fair price. The workers who arrived were the most courteous, skilled and hard working crew my husband has seen in a while. They went above and beyond professional thru and thru. The best compliment you could give a company is to have them return to do additional jobs. Suffice to say Alan is stopping by for another consultation for the next project lined up. Thanks again Westside."

"Everything was absolutely great. Alex and his crew at Fanny Landscaping are highly skilled professionals who once again did a superb job. This was the third large project they have done for us and we're already talking with them about the next ones. I would recommend them most enthusiastically for any jobs, large or small. Alex's estimate was right on the mark and, most importantly, the quality of their work was extremely high. We're looking forward to working with them again."

"Total transformation of our backyard patio to a bluestone oasis. Everyone that sees it says it looks like it came out of a magazine. The attention to detail by Christian, Pete and Chris turned our tired backyard into a phenomenal entertaining space. So pleased!"

"We couldn't have been more pleased with Orozco's work. The team was friendly and fast, very respectful of the neighbors, and the clean-up was perfect. They also trimmed up an enormous locust beautifully as well as a Japanese maple."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Saugerties, 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.
