"Let me start by saying thank you so much to Lino and his crew! I am sorry it took awhile to post my review. The front of my house was a hot mess with overgrown evergreen bushes, weeds and little trees popping up all over. Lino was very prompt and called me back right away. He was able to come out that afternoon for a quote. By that Saturday they were at my house working. What a fabulous job they did! They shaped and trimmed down the bushes, pulled all weeds and other shrubs that were growing in between them. Paid attention to leave the actual plants that I wanted to remain. I had tree cut down and another with all the dead branches removed. The clean up as well was wonderful. They edged the walkway that goes up to house, removed all debris and even sprayed so the weeds would not return. Lino made sure that before they left that everything met my expectations and I was satisfied. They quoted me a good price for all the work that was done. I will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future. Thanks again guys for all your hard work!"

"Roberto and his team worked extremely hard in removing about 2-3 inches of clay/Stoney dirt and putting down about 2 inches of very good black dirt. They first had to remove about 20 plants that were in the garden which they were careful in doing. When they replanted these plants plus about 20 more, they used black dirt to fill the hole around the plant roots. They also replaced a dying evergreen and again surrounded the root with a whole wheel barrow of black dirt. They put a good 4 inches of mulch all around the garden. They did not use heavy equipment so no damage was done to the sod. They cleaned up everything very well. Roberto is very professional and works very hard. I will hire him again and have him doing our seasonal maintenance."

"They were very helpful and responded quickly to my questions. I needed a privacy fence installed in early spring. The crew came out with a little snow on the ground but still got it done in 1 day. Looks great! Cleaned up after themselves and left no mess. I would recommend."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Lake Geneva, WI

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.
