"I highly recommend Central Florida Exterior Solutions for your drainage needs. They installed an underground drainage system around the exterior of my house using 6" PVC pipes, connected my downspouts to it, installed drainage grates throughout my backyard, and then installed a discharge outlet in my front yard. After the drainage pipes were installed, they brought in several trailers of dirt and regraded my rear yard to prevent water flowing towards my house. They also installed a retention wall at the rear exit of my house. I was more than happy with the entire team, and I developed a great relationship with the owners Dalton and Zach. Again, I highly recommend Dalton and Zach for all of your exterior needs."

"Charlie called me as soon as I posted this job. He was very prompt and professional. He came the next day, we agreed on the project and price and he started the work immediately. He ordered the sod and came on schedule 3 days later to install the sod. They did a great job and I am pleased. Charlie and his staff are excellent and very hard working. I highly recommend them for a fair price, quick service and a professional result."

"Morne and his guys are excellent. We will be hiring them to do more work on the front when we have the budget for it. Removed 1 tree and a dozen unsightly bushes close to house walls. Repaired and replaced sprinkler system with sprinklers and drip irrigation for 3 trees. Removed approximately 6 inches of dirt and what was left of previous sod that was killed by chemicals theoretically supposed to promote grass growth and kill weeds(killed half weeds and all lawn... fired that company). Extended Lanai by approximately 150 sq feet. Planted 30 gallon Valencia Orange tree, 30 gallon Meyer Lemon tree, and 10 gallon Sweet Kumquat tree. Constructed 12 foot diameter circular area with 1 foot tall, 3 foot diameter fire pit in center. Laid circular area with gravel and liner to keep gravel mostly in fire pit area. Laid new sod. 2 week project due to cold snap that caused a wait for sod to come back to life. Would normally have been 1.5 weeks."

"Mark at A&M walked the yard with my husband, explaining everything they would do, including some extra work, finishing some shrub trimming that my husband had been making his way through for weeks. They had a large crew that did the work and even worked through the rain to make sure they got it done on time and to our satisfaction. A&M did not quote us the lowest price, but they were the most professional team and we felt they were the right company to replace our sod. Replacing our sod was not just about price, it was about getting people that care about the job and the outcome as much as we care about it. The final result is a beautiful lawn. I'm sure we made the right decision and we would hire A&M Landscape Design again."

"King Kutz did a great job not only sourcing 2 large Foxtail palms but also planting them in the ground for us. Did I mentioned they cleaned up the mess after they completed the job? Very professional and very good communication with us. Next up waiting for a quote on redoing some sod work for us. Thank you very much for exceeding out expectations."

"A story to tell. Last week I tried and tried to contract Landscapers to sod a small portion of my yard and would take about one-half a pallet. The job was too small, didn’t have the time, they didn’t have the sod and if they did, I’d have to pick it up. That was until I contacted Divine Greenery [1-407-929-8262]. I spoke to a gentleman named Don and explained my situation. He advised ‘No Problem” we discussed a price which included installation. He advised he was picking up sod for other jobs on Monday November the 27th and would call back for a time for the installation. He called me on the November28th and advised delivery and installation would be on November the 29th. The crew that came out were very personable and polite; and confident enough to finish the job within approximately an hour. I would suggest anyone needing this type of work to call Don at Divine Greenery, you won’t be disappointed."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Apopka, 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.
