"Allen Outdoor installed and maintains my irrigation system (since 2003). They also did some landscape for me. The technicians and installers have all (without exception) been professional, accommodating and courteous. They fix things right the first time, explain the work well and deliver when and what they promise. Any "call backs" I have had to require (very very few) were handled, promptly and with a "do the right thing" attitude. I simply can not say enough good things about this organization from the techs to the office to management. I highly recommend them."

"Tom and his team removed an existing mish-mash of wood and brick decking/ patio in our central west end back yard.  They then installed pavers and reworked the traffic flow to be more efficient between the garage, house and driveway spaces.  Plantings were carefully selected and installed and consideration given to future plans for a hot tub, fountain and/or pergola to be added.  Tom's team is extremely hard working and were on time every morning.  They cleaned up after working and were always considerate of the family's comings and goings.  I could not be happier with the new patio and absolutely love the plants selected by Tom's designer after we discussed my likes/dislikes/ and amount of work I am prepared to do to maintain the garden.   After living with the patio for a few months, one area retains a puddle of water after rain.  Tom is coming to fix that area (which was not immediately obvious right after the work was completed) once winter freeze/thaw is over and has been very diligent in being sure we are happy with his work.  I would highly recommend Tom for any hardscape/ landscape project. <br />"

"This is an outstanding company. If we could rate then a 10 or a 5+, we would readily do so. They went above and beyond what was on most bids that we had gotten and yet were the most reasonably priced We had seen sod put in at a neighbor's house and they didn't do half the prep work that T&T did. They are truly an outstanding, quality and customer oriented company."

"Paul showed up exactly at the day and time he said he would. The job was completed and when finished you could not tell where the old drain was dug up and moved. He was able to cut the sod off and replace it so as it looked like nothing had been disturbed,"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Valley Park, MO

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.
