"They were here on time the next day. I only needed about 150 sq. ft. replaced, and they were able to use some left over from a job the previous day. The workers were polite, knowledgeable and quick. The job was done in 30 minutes. They answered all my questions regarding watering, care, etc."

"The initial work was completed on Jan. 26 and was satisfactory. However, there were additional items left undone that were agreed upon by the owner Robert Stults and were paid for. These were minor items, but important. A major item left undone was the purchase and installation of 6 hedge trees that were not paid for. From the beginning Robert was cooperative and hands on for our work. However, whenever an estimate, invoice, or paid receipt were requested we were told that he would email them ASAP. Unfortunately, none of these items were ever sent. We were promised that the 6 trees and the remaining work would be completed on Jan. 29, but no one showed up. After a number of phone calls with no response we became concerned. Many of our calls were answered by a woman who answered by different names, Able Landscaping the Evergreen Landscaping not R&D landscaping. She promised to forward the message to Robert. At one point she said that Robert was having some health issues and would get in touch with us in 5-6 days. Robert was always very personable, so we gave him those extra days. However, after 6 days our patience had been used up, and we began calling again. In addition to the remaining work at our house, we had approved a major project for my son's house. This project was to be a total redo of the backyard including cleanup of the existing area, new sod and irrigation, and many plants and shrubs at an agreed price of $4500. No money was exchanged on this project. My son works so it was up to us to coordinate this project. This is when Robert's lies started to emerge. We set up 3 different start dates for this project in conjunction with finishing our project, and each time we had to call and ask where are your crews? Lie #1 was that his truck had been stolen at a gas station and it took him all day to recover it. They would be there the next day though. The next day my wife waited at my son's house and I waited at our house to no avail. When my wife called Robert, he responded that they were on their way. No one showed up. We rescheduled both jobs for Feb.9th. At 10:30am no one was at either job site so we called again. Robert said the crew was loading up their truck and should be on the way within minutes. At 12:15 we called again and again Robert said he was gassing up the equipment and should be there soon. At 2:30 with still no one at either job we called again and got no answer. Since that day we have reached out to Robert by phone and text only to get no response. On 2 occasions he did answer his phone only to hang up on us after we identified ourselves. I finally sent him 3 texts, the first listing the unfinished items for our house. The second requesting, again, a receipt for our payments, and the third cancelling all the work for my son's house until our house was finished. Yesterday my wife tried again, and he did answer but immediately hung up when she said her name. We paid Robert in cash a total of $9100.00. I had Robert initial an invoice for the money, so we have proof of the payment. He told us all the work and material were guaranteed for 6 months and already some of the smaller plants are dying. Robert has a great line of BS and is very personable. I feel obligated to proceed with this matted for our benefit and also the reputation of Angie's List, which because of your referral we hired Robert in the first place."

"Draining issue from a gutter was causing erosion near our house foundation. Morné came out the next day to give us a quote, and was able to schedule repairs quickly to fit around us leaving town on vacation. Highly recommend! "

FAQs for sod installation projects in Winter Springs, 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.
