"Steve and his crew were prompt, friendly, and professional. His communication was excellent and his pricing is fair. Sod installation was very well executed, and the crew cleaned up and left the property immaculate after the job was complete. Would highly recommend Rovell Property Services, and would hire them back for sure!"

"Paul and Laura were amazing from start to finish-giving the estimate, completing the job in two trips,etc. They made suggestions of shrubs and flowers, and listened to what I wanted. Their design skills were great. They were extremely professional, punctual, personable and so easy to work with. I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them in the future. My project was in NYC so it was not so easy to complete (so many complicating factors). In addition, they installed a timed sprinkler -water system which was great. Use them-you won’t be disappointed!"

"Carlos and his team were a pleasure to work with. We needed new patios in our backyard mainly because we had standing water on one side and we would get water in our basement on the other side because the patio was not pitched away from the house. The first time Carlos came to our house, he quickly and confidently came up with a comprehensive plan installing new drainage to carry the water away from the house and installing new patios and retaining walls. The project definitely evolved over a few months and my wife and I decided to also redo a walkway, permanently remove another walkway and add accent lighting. Every step of the way, Carlos was happy to give us options and update his estimate accordingly. He was very fair on price. Carlos and his team were very professional and polite and worked exceptionally fast to address our drainage issues while also greatly improving the appearance of our backyard. Once we are ready to redo our front walk, we'll definitely call Carlos."

Customers say: Quality work

"All of the work was done quickly, professionally, and met my high standards. The only problem arose when they installed my railings while I was out without having me select the style. I came home on the last day of work and everything was complete, even railings that I had not seen or approved. Initially, I didn't want to make them redo it. I thought I could live with it. I paid in full and they left. Ernesto called my husband to make sure we were happy. Everything seemed great, the work was well done, and everyone was professional. However, a few days later I realized I really hated the materials they chose for me. When my husband called back to see if they could change out the railings for us, they said it would cost about $500. I know I paid in full and approved the job, but after $8,000 worth of work, I thought it distasteful to be charged more money to change out materials that I never approved in the first place. I recommend their work, but be sure you approve every single material prior to installation.

"Sergiy and his team did a phenomenal job with our basement project. The level of workmanship was outstanding. The team of workers was reliably on time and always courteous and respectful. They handled every little detail of the construction - framing, electric, sheet-rocking, installations, flooring, painting, and more. Also, Sergiy took great care to consult with us about every design consideration, and offered great practical solutions. We highly recommend My Town, and will definitely hire them again for our next project!"

"John and his team did an excellent job. John always answered my calls/text and kept me well informed of the whole process. He worked around my schedule. His team was very professional. They were always on time and kept the work area very neat. I will definitely give him a call for the next project. They removed the old driveway and retaining wall, installed a new drain, installed a new retaining wall, put down base layer, and then a new asphalt driveway."

"An amazing experience for my landscape lighting. From sales to scheduling to installation... All around a terrific experience and one that we’ve become used to with Tanzer. In the past, they've installed and modified our irrigation to perfection as well. The installers didn’t make a complete mess of the property, especially when they were digging the trenches. The sod was put back nicely, which is a HUGE deal for me. And they took their shoes off to go into the basement after working in mulch, grass and dirt. If you're looking for a landscape lighting and/or irrigation professional, they're the BEST!"

"Okay, I know I did not include an "Approximate cost of service" but you know what (?) its nobody's business. I will say, as indicated below, the cost was excellent. 
Last year, I had my in-ground oil tank removed (this was done by a different contractor). So, you can imagine my back yard was trashed. This year, I contacted several landscapers to look at the job, and provide an estimate.
Craig, the owner of Creative Images Landscaping, came to my home as we had scheduled, evaluated the entire job and provided me the cost of the job and when he could start even before he left. His cost was the best we had received from several landscapers, and as I was traveling out of state, his willingness to work within our schedule was very helpful.
On the day and time he said his crew would be there, they were there! They had the equipment and the right people to strip off the poor soil used when the tank was removed, add new top soil to the correct height, install new drainage, cut down and remove an old tree, and lay out sod. All done the same day!
Not only did he have the right people and equipment to do the job, EVERYTHING was top quality, the top soil, drainage pipe, and especially the sod.
AND, the price he gave me at the start of the job, was the final cost of the job.
MY BACKYARD HAS NEVER LOOKED BETTER. The lawn now is a deep green, very healthy as there are no weeds or dandelions, or anything else growing except the grass (we have even had to cut it three times already.
The grass is really GREAT, and we have received many compliments on its appearance.
If you are looking for a landscaper, you have to do your own comparisons, make your own decisions, but based on my experience you really should at least include Creative Images Landscaping in your search.
I highly recommend them based on their professionalism, timeliness, quality, and cost, and will use their services the next time I have some landscaping to do.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Whippany, 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.
