"In April of 2023 I had them change my crab grass to Enpire grass. I thought they did a professional job but after almost one year my new grass was turning brown in different spots and now it is almost completely brown. I have watered it twice a day and still it got worse. When I asked them what is wrong they suggested watering and letting it grow more higher. They were cutting my grass till a month ago and the company passed me to another company to do my yard work without talking to me in person only by text. At the beginning they cut my grass, trees, bushes great. But when putting my Enpire grass, I found out that they should have removed all my crab grass first not cut the crab grass down to the roots. That is why I still have crab grass growing between my Enpire grass today. I asked if that was normal & they said yes. Just pull it. So don't get new sod grass from them especially Enpire grass which tolerates Florida's weather and needs less water. Unfortunately, my Enpire grass has not turned out well after 6 months & couldn't get the right help nor care from this company. They are good in cutting the trees, bushes. Cutting the grass mostly with a Weed Wacker mostly instead of regular lawn mower may have hurt my grass. That is why I gave 3. They do arrive the day they are coming."

"Yonis responded 1st from my Home Advisor request. He was very courteous on the phone. He came to my house gave me a reasonable quote. He and his team got the tree trimming done quickly. He also also gave me other options and we decided on one. They cleaned up the yard nicely and left my yard better than how they found it. I would highly recommend them to my friends and family."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Miami, 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.
