"We hired Steve and his crew do sod in our backyard and they did a wonderful job! Our job was not easy as we just had packed dirt from an excavation project, but it did not phase them. They took the time to weed wack, till the entire property, and ensure that they followed the pitch of our yard for drainage. On the day of install, the whole crew could not have been nicer. It was a HOT day and they kept checking in with us to let us know their progress and how to make sure we understood how to take care of it. In the end the sod looks GORGEOUS and we cannot wait to have everyone over soon. I would highly recommend Rovell Property Services to anyone looking to transform their space!"

"I told them exactly what I wanted and the company delivered a look that was even better than I expected. They transformed the look of our front yard and a section of the backyard. I was impressed with their selection of unique shrubbery. I'd have to say that thanks to Jager Landscaping, we have one of the best looking properties in our neighborhood.

"Hired G&R to fix up my deck, stain it, and paint a shed. The work involved replacing all of the horizontal hand rails, and tightening the floor boards. G&R stained the entire deck by hand (including the lattice work). Gave me a good price and stayed with that price. The deck was 35 years old, but you couldn't tell by looking at it now. My neighbor hired them to do some landscaping work after seeing them work on my property. Willie was easy to work with. Would definitely hired them again."

"He was good, but I will say that the installation was delayed and the follow up service was poor. I was satisfied of the actual installation of the sod and the work, I was just disappointed with the installation date that was delayed and especially the follow up. The price was competitive. I did get him off of Angie's List and he was pretty good, and that's why I picked him. I was disappointed in the responsiveness. That was his big downfall."

Customers say: Quality work

"We hired Ernest and Sons to construct our patio tiles. We purchased 2' X 2' Tiles and I have to say they did a gorgeous job. I was so pleased with the way they showed up when they said they would. The men that laid out on my job worked so hard. The labor was very strenuous but they never took a break. They were the most conscientious and polite workers I've ever dealt with. They worked neatly, cleaned up totally afterward, and just had a great deal of respect for our property. They really did a beautiful job and Ernest, the owner is a real gentleman also. Love this company!"

"Victor and his team did an amazing job on my yard. He put in a paver patio, put in a stone walkway filled with gravel around it, leveled my yard and put sod down. My husband and I love it so much! He gave us a great price for quality work."

"Conti Landscaping did an amazing job from start to finish. I was contacted almost immediately after putting in my request for the sod installation for my front yard and Chris came out to take a look the next day. His pricing was very fair compared to some other landscapers in the area, and he was able to do the work within a week of us meeting. He was very communicative as to how he wanted to complete the project and what days he was available to do so. Chris and his team showed up on time both days to complete the sod installation at my home and it looks great. Everyone was kind, knowledgeable, and did a great job. I would absolutely hire Conti Landscaping again for any future needs at my home!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Wayne, NJ

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.
