"I don’t usually write reviews, but my experiences with NCG Landscape & Lawn Maintenance were so exceptional that I felt compelled to share. I have been utilizing them for the past 3 years for all of my landscaping needs. The earlier jobs were smaller – installing French drains, etc. However, the job just completed was vey large. I had all of my sod replaced, old landscaping torn out and over 100 plants installed, and my irrigation system overhauled. Their team was incredible. All of them were extremely knowledgeable and hard working as well as polite and personable. Morné is the most responsive company owner I’ve ever dealt with. He would respond after hours and on weekends. He was always on top of things. I strongly recommend them for all your landscaping needs. I honestly don’t think that you will be able to find anyone better!!"

"Reviews 5.0 (13 reviews) « Reply to reviews Get more reviews All Replied Unreplied = Newest Gaile Wells 11 reviews • 0 photos ***** 32 mins ago NEW I'm so happy we selected this company for our landscaping project. Mark and his team were great with removing my dead plants, shrubs and two Juniper Spiral Topiary shrubs that (no longer was spiral, but a big shrub) that was badly burned by the hush winter weather we had this year. He was wonderful in helping me make the right plant choices and was a breath of fresh air compared to two other companies I called to get quotes. No rushing me and gave ideas on plants sizes and weather tolerance. Thank you Mark for being patient and not taking advantage of the elderly. Thank you Amanda for checking to see if we had any further questions before our landscaping job started and for contacting me when Mark and his team was delayed with another customer's job instead of having us wait without any notification of changed arrival time. 1100% recommend"

"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!! "

FAQs for sod installation projects in Zellwood, 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.
