"Elbert and his team were fantastic! I called him in the middle of the snowstorm after I found out my snowblower wasn't working and he pulled through, the plow, shovel, salt and all! We live in a tricky spot and he had us move all cars out of the driveway and when we came back to the driveway, everything, including the spot for our trashcans was cleared and salted. I am talking a MAJOR snowstorm and he made it work with all of the snowstorm! This exceedes my expectations by a landslide! Thank you, thank you!!"

"We have been using H&H for a few years now for landscaping maintenance and been very happy with the service. This year we also had the H&H team remove an old stone wall that was failing and had them redesign the stonewall section with the installation of a Saratoga granite stone. We are impressed with the entire process from beginning to the end result."

"excellent job. Leave the site well cleaned off. Particularly appreciate their communications as each storm is different. They tell you when they will be plowing. They customize their service in terms of how much snowfall you will tolerate without their coming, whether or not to spread ice melter etc."

"I was amazed by the incredible work done by William and his crew. My yard was a sorry, overgrown jungle, an embarrassment. These men worked tirelessly, without e en taking a break. I was blown away by the meticulous work they did, even pulling weeds up from the roots. When they finished, not even a blade of grass on the walkways. They did a beautiful job shaping and cutting back the shrubs. I was more thN thrilled by their outstanding work And outstanding work ethic. I hired them on the spot for all future yard maintenance and evenfor snow removal. No hyperbole here. Just fact. I'd recommend them with my highest references. Hire this Company! I guarantee you won't be disappointed!"

"Roberto and his team were great. We hired them to install Sod on our property. We got a fair proposal quickly and they were able to complete the work in record time. The work is great and the neighbors said we must have hired great landscapers because it looks awesome."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Westwood, MA

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.
