"They were professional, on time, did a great job at a great price too! They even came back to replace two pieces of sod that weren't doing well, and adjusted my sprinklers! I highly recommend them and am bringing them back to trim my big oak tree! Thanks for the great service!"

"If you’re looking for a landscaping company you can actually trust—stop searching and call All American Lawn Care & Landscaping. We hired them to install sod around our new patio, and I can honestly say this is one of the best contractor experiences we’ve ever had. The difference in our yard is night and day. The sod is perfectly laid, the ground was prepped the right way, and everything looks full, green, and professionally done. But what impressed me most wasn’t just the result—it was how they operate. They showed up when they said they would, worked hard the entire time, paid attention to the details most companies miss, and treated our home with real care and respect. In a world where it’s hard to find reliable, honest companies… these guys stand out. No shortcuts. No excuses. Just excellent work. If you’re in the Lakeland area and even thinking about sod or landscaping, do yourself a favor and call them first. You’ll be glad you did."

"We contacted Dakota and Southern Brothers Landscape Design to get a quote on remodeling our landscaping in Huntington at Safety Harbor. He showed up on time and brought his entire crew with him. He was my second quote and we walked the property while discussing expectations. He gave a fair price and could start immediately after agreeing. My lawn was serviced the same day and looked great. We discussed our future project of replacing old sod with new sod along with new azaleas. He quoted another fair price and we agreed to do the upgrade. The new sod looks great and cut good around the corners and green. His team dug out an old tree and replaced with new azaleas. The new azaleas on both sides of front door were planted in a strategic direction to bring the best look. Also completed new brown mulch on all the beds on the property with expert mulching. We are happy with the purchase and the service all of the employees. They are polite and respectful. Dakota always responds to texts with an answer. A++ Tommy Ming 727-262-4002"

"He and his company perform in an exemplary manner! The irrigation was done quickly and efficiently and now is installed position and working perfectly. The landscaping was impeccable and just what my wife asked for. We couldn’t be happier. The hard scape in what is a last minute edition and he insured that our vision was implemented and exactly what we wanted. I would hire him over and over. They are professional, flexible, very reasonable, and deliver what and when they say they will. Definitely give them your business. Thank you Eudelio!!!!"

"Needed sod and pea gravel installed for our backyard. Also our existing sprinkler system was broken. Steven called and set up an appointment for a quote. He was courteous, professional, and on time. Other (pros?) from home advisor didn’t even call, or were late/no show for quotes. We hired Cali Palms and are very happy with the service, follow up, and overall experience. Steven did everything he said he’d do, and provided samples prior to installing. We had an issue with one sprinkler head, and he personally came out the next morning and fixed it. Project was done on time, price was fair, and it looks beautiful. I would definitely hire again!"

"I had Sampson Land Care out to get a quote for some sod work and also to have a tree trimmed. I am very happy with my experience. As far as the sod work, it was to fix a horrible job done by another company. I thought that all of the sod would need to be ripped out and new sod laid. Walter gave me 3 options. 1 included ripping up the old sod but he advised me that it wasn't necessary to go that drastic. So he also gave me 2 cheaper options and said for me to decide what I thought would be best for me. It's rare to find someone that honest to offer up cheaper options. He could easily have just quoted me for ripping up the old sod even though it did not need to be done. I was pleasantly surprised. As far as the tree trimming, it was also a great experience. He cut it based on our HOA standards and it was sufficient, but I really wanted a little more cut off because the part over my drive-way had been annoying me. Walter could tell that I wanted something else done, so he asked. (I felt bad asking, because he had technically already cut the required amount.) But he was fine with cutting more off for me and didn't charge anything extra... As an added bonus, he also cleaned out my gutters while he was here. (He noticed them while walking the property looking at the sod.) This was something extra he did, he did not charge me any extra. I have a very small section of gutters, but they were pretty bad and had not been done in years, due to some medical issues that I have had. He was happy to help because he knows the importance of it. (even I know the damage that was bound to happen but there wasn't anything I could really do.) So from start to finish, I was pleasantly surprised with his willingness to go above and beyond. I highly recommend this company. And will also be having him do yard work for me in the future. (And pressure wash my house, because he does that also.)"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Tampa, 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.
