St. Augustine is the most popular choice for Florida due to its heat tolerance, shade tolerance, and ability to thrive in our climate. Bermuda grass is excellent for sunny areas with high traffic. Zoysia creates a beautiful, low-maintenance lawn but establishes more slowly. We're happy to recommend the best type for your specific conditions.

Measure your lawn area's length and width in feet, then multiply to get square footage. For irregular shapes, break the area into rectangles and add them together. We recommend ordering 5-10% extra to account for cutting and shaping. Our team can also help calculate your needs from property plans or Google Earth measurements.

Absolutely! Consider factors like sun exposure (full sun vs. shade), traffic levels, maintenance preferences, and budget. During your quote request, tell us about your lawn conditions and we'll recommend the best options. We can even provide samples for comparison.

Yes! All our sod comes from trusted Florida farms. Local growing means the grass is already adapted to our climate, soil, and pest conditions, giving you the best chance for a successful lawn.

While we specialize in delivery, we partner with experienced installation crews throughout Florida. We can connect you with trusted professionals who will ensure your sod is installed correctly. Many customers choose to install themselves - it's easier than you might think!

Remove old grass and weeds, till the soil to 4-6 inches deep, level the area, and add a starter fertilizer. The soil should be moist but not muddy. Mark sprinkler heads and indicate where you'd like pallets placed. We provide detailed preparation guides with every order.

Sod should be installed within 24 hours of delivery in cool weather, or within 12 hours during hot summer months. The sooner you install, the better the establishment. Keep uninstalled sod in shade and lightly mist if installation is delayed.

Water immediately after installation - the soil beneath should be wet to 4 inches deep. For the first two weeks, water daily (morning is best) to keep soil moist. Gradually reduce frequency while increasing depth. Avoid heavy traffic for 2-3 weeks. First mowing can occur when grass reaches 3-4 inches.

Proper watering is crucial - most sod problems stem from too little or too much water. Brown patches usually indicate insufficient water, while soft, mushy areas suggest overwatering. We provide care guides and are available by phone to troubleshoot any issues. Quality sod with proper care has a 95%+ success rate.
