"Called Pepe's Tree Service on Monday afternoon. Someone came out Tuesday for an estimate. Also, on Tuesday they emailed us their liability insurance form. Estimate of $300.00 was very reasonable to us. They arrived Wednesday morning and completed all the work plus all the debris was removed. The project went fast and smooth. Couldn't have asked for anything more!"

"HIghly skilled employees very polite and responsive to questions and concerns. I am a first time home buyer and had no experience on how to hire or get the work done when it came to the outside of my house. I was refer to this company by a friend and no regrets on hiring them. They installed a fire pit as well as a black stone patio, work looks great and can't wait to start enjoying my fire pit."

"My backyard was a disaster prior to contacting Lazaro Lopez of Rescue Landscaping. Now it's beautiful! I'm thrilled. Mr. Lopez was extremely professional and thorough in his assessment of my landscaping needs and materials needed. He expressed a sincere enthusiasm and love for his work that convinced me that the job would be in good hands. He was prompt in starting the job, kept me informed about the progress and had completed landscaping the yard in just a few days. I would highly recommend this company."

"They were professional, on-time, and answered all of our questions. We had an unusual shape we needed re-sodded and didn't realize it would take more sod than our original estimate. The other vendors changed their prices after they came out, but Landscape Designs made their original quote include our odd project area and still came in cheaper than their competitors."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Sheridan, IL

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.
