Landscaping & Sod
New Sod That Actually Takes
Sod fails for boring reasons. It gets laid over dead grass, on dry ground, with gaps between the pieces, and nobody tells the homeowner how much water it needs in the first two weeks. We do the unglamorous part: strip the old material, grade the area, moisten the soil, and set the pieces in a staggered brick pattern with the edges pushed tight together.
Landscaping work runs the same way. We'll tell you what will survive in the spot you're pointing at and what won't, then give you a flat price to do it. That covers bed reshaping and re-edging, removing tired plants, installing new shrubs and plants, and finishing with mulch. If you're selling a house or turning a rental, we can focus on the parts that show from the curb.

What you get
What This Service Covers
Sod patching and repair
Dead spots from chinch bugs, dog traffic, shade, or a failed irrigation zone. We cut out the bad section and drop in matching sod so the repair blends instead of standing out.
Bed reshaping and edging
Beds get redefined with a clean, deliberate edge and squared-off corners. Overgrown beds are cut back to a line that makes sense with the house instead of creeping into the lawn.
Plant and shrub installation
New shrubs, foundation plantings, accent plants, and small ornamentals set at the right depth and spaced for their mature size, not for how they look the day they go in.
Old plant and turf removal
Dead shrubs, overgrown foundation plants, and failed turf pulled out and hauled off. Nothing gets left in a pile at the curb for you to deal with later.
Mulch to finish the job
Fresh mulch spread two to three inches deep and pulled back off trunks and stems. That depth holds moisture and slows weeds without suffocating the plants you just paid for.
How we work
How a Sod or Landscape Job Goes
We come out, walk the area with you, and measure. You get a flat price covering material, labor, and haul-off, agreed before anything starts. On install day we clear and prep first, which is most of the work, then lay sod or set plants. Before we leave, we walk you through the watering schedule for the first two to three weeks, because that part is on you and it decides the outcome.
Worth knowing
The First Three Weeks Decide Whether Your Sod Lives
New sod has no root system yet. It is sitting on the soil, not in it. UF/IFAS guidance for St. Augustine is multiple short irrigations, five to ten minutes each, spread through the day for the first seven to ten days. For the next seven to ten days, water once daily with a quarter to a half inch. After that, drop to two or three times a week.
Two more things people get wrong. Don't mow it until the roots have pegged down, generally fourteen to twenty-one days, meaning you can't lift a piece without real force. And don't fertilize for thirty to sixty days. Sod is usually fertilized before harvest, and feeding a lawn with no roots just sends nutrients into the groundwater. Give it three to four weeks and it's an established lawn.
Pick the grass for the light
Floratam is the most widely used St. Augustine in Florida but has only fair shade tolerance and struggles under six hours of sun. If your yard is shaded, that matters more than price per pallet.
Timing the install matters
UF/IFAS advises planting warm-season grass during active growth and avoiding temperature extremes. In central Florida, that means steering clear of a cold snap or the hottest, driest stretch of summer if you have the option.
Fix the cause, not the symptom
If chinch bugs, a dead sprinkler zone, or deep shade killed the last lawn, new sod will die the same way. We'll say so before you spend money on grass.

Clean-Outs & Mulch
Clean-outs for yards that have gotten away from you. Overgrown lot clearing, brush and vine removal, seasonal clean-ups, storm debris, and old mulch replaced with fresh. We cut it, drag it, load it, and haul it off, then blow the whole area clean.

Landscaping & Sod questions, answered
How long before I can walk on new sod?
Give it time. New sod is fragile until it roots, and it isn't safe for play or heavy foot traffic right away. Light walking to move a sprinkler is fine. Wait roughly two to three weeks, until the pieces have pegged down and can't be lifted easily, before treating it like a normal lawn. Kids and dogs should stay off until then.
Can you sod just part of the yard?
Yes. A lot of our sod work is patching, not whole yards. We cut out the dead sections, prep the soil underneath, and set matching sod so the seams disappear once it fills in. If the damage keeps coming back in the same place, we'll point at the likely cause first so you're not paying to replace the same patch twice.
Do you handle irrigation or sprinkler repair?
We're a lawn and landscape company, not an irrigation contractor. We'll tell you if we see a head that isn't turning, a zone that isn't reaching, or coverage that won't support new sod, and we'll be straight about it before you buy grass. For the repair itself you'll want a licensed irrigation company. Ask us and we'll point you somewhere reasonable.
I'm selling the house. What's worth doing?
Usually the front. Fresh sod on the visible lawn, beds re-edged and mulched, tired shrubs pulled and replaced with a few healthy ones, and everything trimmed back off the walkway and windows. That reads as a maintained house in listing photos and at the first walk-up. We'll give you a flat price and tell you which items actually move the needle.
Do you remove the old grass first?
Yes. Laying sod on top of existing grass or debris is a common shortcut and it causes the new sod to sit high, dry out, and fail at the seams. Sod needs to go on bare, moist soil to make contact and root. Removal and haul-off of the old material is included in the price we quote you.
