How we work
What Our Sod Installation Includes
Our complete sod installation service covers soil preparation, grading, proper sod selection for Central Florida conditions, installation, and initial watering. We handle everything from removing old grass to ensuring proper drainage in our sandy soils. You get a turnkey lawn that's ready to use in just a few weeks.
How Professional Sod Installation Works
We start by testing your soil and preparing the surface with proper grading and amendments. Then we install fresh, locally-sourced sod that's cut to fit your property precisely. Our team ensures proper soil contact and immediate irrigation setup so your new grass takes root quickly in Florida's heat.
Why Central Florida Conditions Matter
Central Florida's sandy soil, intense summer heat, and heavy rainfalls require specific grass varieties and installation techniques. We know which sod types handle our climate best - from St. Augustine to Zoysia - and how to prepare your soil so the grass establishes strong roots despite the challenges of Florida weather.
Results You Can Count On
With proper installation, your new sod will be walkable within 2-3 weeks and fully established within 6-8 weeks. You'll have a thick, green lawn that handles Florida's weather extremes, reduces erosion, and meets any HOA requirements. Our 12+ years of local experience means we get it right the first time.
Ongoing Support and Maintenance
We provide detailed care instructions specific to your grass type and Central Florida growing conditions. Our team can also handle ongoing maintenance to keep your new lawn healthy and beautiful. From fertilization schedules to proper mowing heights, we help you protect your investment long-term.
Florida Landscape Co. saved us from a HOA violation after our previous landscapers ruined our lawn. They came in, installed new sod and got us back on track with the HOA within a couple of days. Ever since then, they've maintained our lawn and we've had no issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of sod works best in Central Florida?
St. Augustine and Zoysia grasses perform best in our climate and sandy soils. St. Augustine handles shade well and establishes quickly, while Zoysia is more drought-tolerant once established. We'll recommend the right variety based on your specific conditions and usage needs.
How long before I can walk on new sod?
You can walk lightly on new sod after 2-3 weeks when it's properly rooted. Heavy foot traffic should wait 6-8 weeks for full establishment. Florida's heat helps grass root quickly, but our sandy soil means proper watering during establishment is critical.
When is the best time to install sod in Central Florida?
Fall through early spring (October-April) is ideal when temperatures are cooler and rainfall is lower. Summer installation is possible but requires more intensive watering and care. We can install year-round and adjust our techniques based on seasonal conditions.
How much does sod installation cost?
Costs vary based on grass type, site preparation needed, and property size. Most residential installations range from $0.50-$1.20 per square foot including materials and labor. We provide detailed written estimates that include soil prep, sod, and installation.
Do you install sod for HOA and commercial properties?
Yes, we regularly handle HOA common areas and commercial property sod installation. We provide proper documentation, work with HOA schedules, and ensure installations meet community standards. Our commercial experience includes proper drainage solutions for larger areas.
