"We hired NORO Lawn Care for a full landscape installation at our building complex in Kendall, and the transformation was incredible. What impressed us most wasn’t just the final result (which was beautiful), but how smooth and professional the entire process was. Roberto and his team gave us complimentary renderings of everything that was going to be done, which made it easy for the board and residents to visualize the changes before work even began. They stayed on schedule, on budget, and communicated every step of the way. The residents are thrilled with the new look—it feels like a brand new property. Easily one of the best vendor experiences we’ve had."

Legacy Landscaping, is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"I have had a horrible experience with Leading Legacy Landscaping. Unless your garden only has grass, I would not recommend them. Last week, a worker came in after I hired them to pick up leaves and other debris. When I came out to greet him, I found him cutting through my plants. The reasoning was: I cannot blow leaves since they are stuck in your plants 𠤯 we called the manager, and instead of offering an apology, I was told that these plants were invasive. It did not matter to the manager that I bought these ferns, snake plants, and milkweeds in a nursery. Now my garden looks like bare dirt. I had already faced issues with their services. Several months prior, I hired them to cut the grass. They had damaged my passion fruit plant, mango tree, fig tree, and plastic poll. I was told it was because of a new guy, so I gave them a second chance. Looks like I should not have."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Fort Lauderdale, 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.
