It depends on your yard — total square footage, the grass variety you choose, how much prep work is needed, and site accessibility all factor in. We don't do ballpark guesses. We come out, measure everything, and give you a clear, itemized quote so you know exactly what you're paying for before we start. The estimate is always free.

Most residential yards are done in a single day — removal, prep, and install included. Larger properties or yards that need heavy grading or drainage work may take 2 days. We'll give you a specific timeline during your consultation so you can plan around it.

It depends on your sun exposure, foot traffic, irrigation setup, and how much maintenance you want to deal with. St. Augustine is the most popular for Florida homes — thick, green, and shade-tolerant. Zoysia is great for heavy-traffic yards with kids and pets. Bahia is the low-maintenance option for larger lots. Bermuda works best in full-sun yards. We'll walk your property and recommend the right one during your free consultation.

Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the yard and the water supply, we can handle the install while you're at work. That said, we always do a walkthrough at the end to go over watering instructions and make sure you're happy — so it helps to be available when we're wrapping up, even if it's a quick phone call.

New sod alone won't fix drainage issues — but proper site prep will. Before we lay anything, we grade the entire yard to direct water away from your home and eliminate low spots where water pools. If your drainage problems go beyond surface grading, we'll flag that during the consultation and talk through solutions before we start.

We recommend keeping all foot traffic — including pets — off new sod for at least 2 weeks while the roots grab hold. Light walking is usually fine by week 3. Full use — running, playing, mowing — is safe by week 3 to 4 depending on grass type and weather. We'll give you a specific timeline based on your install.

For the first 7 to 10 days, you'll water 2 to 3 times per day to keep the soil underneath consistently moist. After that, you gradually reduce to once daily, then every other day as the roots establish. By week 3 to 4, you should be on a normal deep-watering schedule. We leave you with a written watering plan tailored to your grass type, soil, and time of year.

Yes. If you're patching a section rather than replacing the whole yard, we identify your current grass variety and match it as closely as possible. We prep the damaged area the same way we would a full install — remove the dead material, grade, condition the soil — so the new section blends in and roots properly instead of just sitting on top.

We handle everything. Old sod removal, weed stripping, debris cleanup, haul-off — it's all included in the quote. You don't need to do anything before we show up. We never lay new sod on top of old grass, and we never ask homeowners to do their own demo work.

Absolutely. We work with homeowners in HOA communities all the time. If your association has specific grass type requirements, coverage rules, or timeline expectations, just let us know. We'll make sure the install meets their standards and we can provide documentation or photos if your HOA needs proof of work.
