"Jon is AMAZING!! We're extremely pleased with the backyard paver flatwork patio Jon from JA Land Development installed for us. From the start, Jon demonstrated a high level of honesty and transparency, ensuring we were informed every step of the way. His business practices were refreshingly upfront, and we appreciated his patience and generosity in working with us to bring our vision to life. The craftsmanship was exceptional - the paver work is solid, level, and beautifully laid out. Jon's attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in every aspect of the job. What truly sets Jon apart, though, is his integrity and reliability. He was direct and clear about the start and finish dates, and he followed through without any delays. We trust him completely and would not hesitate to hire him for any future projects. We're deeply grateful for the exceptional service and workmanship he provided. Jon is a true professional, and his dedication to his craft is admirable. We're honored to have had the opportunity to work with him, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a trustworthy and skilled contractor. He's a rare gem in the industry, and we're lucky to have found him. Cathy's assistance with the permits was also greatly appreciated, making the entire process seamless. To Jon, we offer our sincerest appreciation for a job well done - thank you for your hard work, expertise, and commitment to excellence. You are one in a million!! We can’t wait to do more business with you as you are so honest and trustworthy. 5 million star review!!!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Sound Beach, 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.
