"Mornè and his team are the absolute best!!! I used them to design and install landscape lighting for my home. They are knowledgeable, professional, and reasonably priced. When I had an concern, they were quick to check on the situation. This was my first project with them and it won't be the last. Highly recommend Morne and his company!!!"

"I have never had a more pleasant experience with a home care service in my life! The gentlemen that came out were so sweet and informative, really took their time looking over everything and giving me ideas along with options that worked within my budget. They gave me an amazing deal and were very punctual and beyond professional the day they came for the services. The job they did was top notch. I would expect something like this to cost at least triple what I paid. If you want luxury landscaping and exterior home care services at us average Joe’s prices then you definitely will find that no where else other than here! I cannot recommend them enough!! "

"We've had sod replaced at a previous home and looked great from day one. Not many gaps between pieces and when there were they added dirt. But with this company, many gaps and patches, sod laid over rocks around AC unit. almost 3 weeks in and not much of a change in the way it looks. Was called the day before install to see if I wanted to upgrade to a "higher" quality St Augustine for over $300 more. Agreed to it but was never provided any proof that what I got was regular or the higher quality sod. Neighbors had work done by the electric company and they tore out major sections of their grass and replaced it with new sod the same day as ours was installed and theirs looks great! Would not recommend this company."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Windermere, FL

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.
