Affordable, dependable, and always does an excellent job."

Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"We hired John Fougere after another recommended landscaper withdrew from the project at the planning stage. The lot of land is challenging with serious slopes. We had new construction going on, were new to Chatham, and didn't know who to rely on. We interviewed a few landscapers who made it sound like the task at hand was no big deal. John was the only one who advised he was interested but was honest about his upcoming schedule and noted he could work with us but we would have to be patient. We appreciated his honesty and hired him! Absolutely NO REGRETS! As promised, John tackled the job in stages and started with the areas that were most important to us. As our move in date approached, he concentrated on the things we needed to feel at home, like our patio and steps. John and his staff are professional, dedicated, talented, and most importantly, there is no doubt they take pride in their work. After conferring with us, John selected and planted trees and shrubs. He led his crew in creating two gorgeous patios, a front walkway and steps. He graded parts of the property as needed and added steps in sloped areas. He expertly installed an irrigation system and sod, and also mulched planting beds. I hope I have not forgotten anything. The job is not yet complete but we are close, and I swear I will miss them on a professional and personal level. We recommend John and his crew without hesitation. This is an independant review. We have no connection to John other than our connection through this project. We would hire him again in a heartbeat!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in West Chatham, 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.
