"We had a project to clean up our yard from weeds, brush, and dead trees and make it look nice. At first, we were a bit hesitant to hire Wally because of his low online presence - no website, no Google reviews. However, he gave us a very professional explanation what should be done, and named a very reasonable price, so we hired him. Wally and his team did an excellent job. They cleaned up the yard perfectly, killed all the weeds, made nice edging, and spread the mulch. In addition, they took care of our lawn and flower beds (for free!), which was not even included in the contract. We are very satisfied with the job Wally has done for us and would definitely hire him again."

"Zack returned phone calls, he showed up when he said he would be at my house. He managed the project efficiently with excellent attention to detail. I love my yard! I feel that Zack is trustworthy and reliable. He is a big cut above anyone I have hired. I highly recommend him and I will be back to him for more projects."

"This was my second job with CP Unlimited and I couldn’t be happier. They are always gracious, professional, on time, and having worked with Jill now on two projects, she knows my style and how to bring to life what’s in my head. Jill and team did it all, from designing the landscaping to laying new grass and even installing a temporary irrigation system. We have a few more projects planned together. They’re my go-to for all landscaping/hardscaping."

"I have now had 4 pickups from this company. Each time it has been with different items: I have had my kitchen remodeled,  a deck torn down and rebuilt, a new roof put on, old fencing disc arded, and a yard cleanup. The only difference in pricing was for the roofing and even though ti was more money it was STILL CHEAPER than a dumpster!!! I don't know how these guys do it, but they pickup on time, without issue andfor the cost quoted. I have turned each of my contractors onto them - now they are using them. SO MUCH cheaper and better service than any dumpster company I have used!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Wellfleet, 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.
