"Hands down, Macauley Brothers is the MOST professional company we have ever worked with! Bernie is so responsive and constantly communicated with us throughout the process so we always felt on top of what was happening. His kind nature and professionalism is also evident in his highly skilled crew. They showed up everyday at 7:30am and worked until 7pm...if not later! They were always in uniform, always friendly and watching them work was something the whole family enjoyed. They are experts using machinery, insanely talented stone masons and their attention to detail was evident everyday. I felt like I learned so much from the crew! Gus - the foreman - is simply the best in the business. He made recommendations throughout the process that made our yard even better than we had envisioned. His vision and knowledge is boundless and you'd be hard pressed to find his match elsewhere. Every member of the crew was so great, my youngest son keeps asking when they are coming back! :). Without question, we'll be hiring them again for our front yard in a few years. We also had the pleasure of meeting the landscaping crew for the sod install. Another AMAZING group of guys. We were always impressed to see Bernie show up and work alongside his guys. So professional, caring and kind. His crews love and respect him and he treats them all like family. And Kathleen in the office is fantastic. Professional, friendly and always quick to respond. Overall, there are not enough accolades for this incredible company. Hire them and you will not be disappointed."

"Wesley worked hard to tear up the old lawn and install new sod. He was efficient and open to suggestions. My lawn looks great! Elbert was very patient in answering all my questions and gave me good advice on where to get good soil and sod. His price was reasonable. The day before the project, he confirmed everything with me to make sure the job will be done smoothly. He was thorough and professional!"

"Bob was very professional, easy to work with and timely. He had great ideas for transforming our landscaping. He removed overgrown plants, helped select and install new plants. He also gave us ideas on how to stop erosion on a steep hill and installed plants that look amazing. We are very pleased with the outcome of the project. We will definitely use him again."

"This project could not have gone better, and it could not have been handled more professionally.  This required absolutely backbreaking work on the part of John's team.  Richie and his crew did an amazing job rebuilding our patio (it look beautiful - thank you!) and the team that scraped, cleared, re-graded and re-sodded the yard was professional, efficient and wonderful to work with. <br /> John and his managers are a hands-on group.  I happened to be working from home part of one of the days that the team was on-site.  John or one of his leads stopped by the house 3-4 times during the day to check on the progress of the job, guide the team and make sure we were still on schedule.  John also checked in every day or so on email, which is much appreciated.  He has even checked in after the job was completed with quick tips on managing new sod through this hot dry weather we've had. <br /> We have worked with John on 4-5 different projects and he and the team have done incredible work each time.  His crews are managed well, are very professional, and treat your home/yard with respect (many companies in this space do not). <br /> If you're looking for exceptional work done at a fair price by an honest business owner, I would highly recommend John's Landscaping. <br />"

"I recently hired HM PRO for several landscaping services, including tree removal, trimming, sod installation, seeding, and shed installation—and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The team was efficient and professional, handling everything with care. The tree removal and trimming were done perfectly, leaving my yard looking clean and neat. They also installed sod and seeded some bare patches, and I’m already seeing a great improvement in my lawn’s appearance. The shed installation was another highlight. It’s sturdy, well-built, and exactly what I needed for outdoor storage. I really appreciated the team’s attention to detail and their helpful suggestions throughout the process. What stood out the most was their communication. They were punctual, courteous, and always kept me informed. Every step was completed with quality in mind, and they made sure everything met my expectations. I highly recommend HM PRO for any landscaping project. "

FAQs for sod installation projects in West Roxbury, 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.
