"excellent job. Leave the site well cleaned off. Particularly appreciate their communications as each storm is different. They tell you when they will be plowing. They customize their service in terms of how much snowfall you will tolerate without their coming, whether or not to spread ice melter etc."

"We decided to work with John?s Landscaping in the spring of 2011 because we had worked with their landscape designer, Lisa Bierman, on another project.  Lisa did not disappoint us.  We continue to be very happy with her design and always enjoy working with her.  We were also pleased with the installation of the plantings and hardscape.  The crew was pleasant to work with.  They managed our expectations appropriately.  We knew what to expect every day. <br /> Our disappointment stems from the lawn that John?s Landscaping planted.  We sodded part of the yard and hydroseeded the other.  We followed their guidance on maintenance, including watering and fertilization.  The hydroseeded lawn was taken over by weeds shortly after germinating.  John?s Landscaping did aerate and overseed this part of the yard last fall.  However, this part of the lawn was full of weeds again this summer. <br /> The sod developed brown patches over the course of last summer.  This spring, when our neighbors? lawns were green, ours was brown.  It stayed that way well into June with some areas never completely recovering.  John and his sod supplier looked at it on a <br /> couple of occasions due to our continued urging and each time told us the sod was fine.  Earlier this summer, John agreed to address the patchy spots but has since declined to deal with the problem areas. <br />"

"Roberto and his team were great. We hired them to install Sod on our property. We got a fair proposal quickly and they were able to complete the work in record time. The work is great and the neighbors said we must have hired great landscapers because it looks awesome."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Taunton, MA

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.
