Sod Selection

We recommend the right grass variety for your climate, sun exposure, and intended use (foot traffic, aesthetics, drought tolerance).

03

Sod Installation

Fresh sod is delivered and installed in staggered rows, with seams tightly fitted and edges cut clean around beds and borders.

Sod Installation FAQ for Orlando Homeowners

How often should Orlando homeowners get sod installation?
Given Orlando's year-round heat averaging 82°f with oppressive summer humidity, most homeowners benefit from sod installation at least once a year. Year-round algae and mold on roofs, driveways, and pool decks often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Orlando most need sod installation?
Concrete block and stucco homes (CBS construction dominant) and Tile roof communities throughout Orange and Seminole counties are the most common home types in Orlando and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How soon can I use my new sod lawn?
Light foot traffic is okay after 2 weeks. Full use is safe after 4–6 weeks once roots have established. Mowing can begin once the grass reaches the appropriate height.
How much does sod installation cost?
Sod installation typically runs $1–$2 per square foot for materials and labor. A typical 2,000 sq ft lawn costs $2,000–$4,000 installed.
What's the best time of year to install sod?
Spring and fall are ideal for most grass types, as moderate temperatures reduce stress and improve establishment. Sod can be installed in summer with more aggressive watering.
How often should I water new sod?
New sod needs watering 2–3 times daily for the first 2 weeks to keep it moist. After roots establish, transition to deeper, less frequent watering.
