Question 1

What's the scope — maintenance, design, or hardscaping?

Accepted Answer

Mowing and edging, a complete yard redesign, and a patio or retaining wall are priced very differently. Be clear about what you want so the landscaper sends the right crew and equipment.

Question 2

How large is the area?

Accepted Answer

Square footage or lot size is the main pricing input. Walk the perimeter with your phone's measure app, or give a rough estimate — 'front yard, about 1,500 sq ft' is enough to start.

Question 3

Do you have irrigation or sprinklers?

Accepted Answer

Existing irrigation affects plant choices, hardscape routing, and overall design. If you don't have it and want it, mention that — it often needs to be done before planting.

Question 4

Any HOA rules or city codes to follow?

Accepted Answer

Some neighborhoods restrict fence heights, tree removal, or plant types. Mention any HOA guidelines or known city codes upfront so the landscaper designs within constraints.

Question 5

What's your timeline — seasonal or flexible?

Accepted Answer

Planting seasons matter: spring and fall are ideal for most projects. If you need work done by a specific date (party, listing, move-in), say so early — landscapers book up fast in peak months.

Question 8

What is a Thatch layer?

Accepted Answer

A tightly intermingled layer of living and dead grass stems, roots, and runners that accumulates between the green grass blades and the soil surface. A thin thatch layer (under ½ inch) is beneficial — it insulates roots, retains moisture, and cushions foot traffic. But when thatch exceeds ¾ inch, it becomes a barrier: water and fertilizer can't penetrate to the roots, diseases and insects harbor in the moist mat, and grass becomes shallow-rooted and drought-prone. De-thatching (power-raking) uses vertical blades to slice through and pull out excess thatch, while core aeration punches holes through it to let air, water, and nutrients reach the soil. Most cool-season lawns should be de-thatched in early fall and warm-season lawns in late spring. Professional de-thatching costs $150–$350 for a typical suburban lawn (5,000–10,000 sq ft) and is often paired with overseeding and topdressing for best results.

Question 9

What is a Sod installation?

Accepted Answer

Sod installation (also called turfgrass sodding or laying turf) is the process of transplanting pre-grown grass with its root system and a thin layer of soil onto a prepared surface to create an instant lawn. Unlike seeding, which takes 6–12 weeks to establish and is vulnerable to washout, bird damage, and weed competition, sod provides an immediate green surface that is walkable within 2–3 weeks and fully rooted in 4–6 weeks. Sod is grown on specialized turf farms over 10–18 months, harvested in rolls or slabs (typically 2 feet wide by 5 feet long), and must be installed within 24–48 hours of harvest to avoid the grass dying from heat buildup. The installation process begins with thorough site preparation: removing old grass, weeds, and debris; tilling the soil to 4–6 inches deep; amending with topsoil or compost if needed; grading for proper drainage (minimum 1–2% slope away from structures); and raking smooth. Sod is then laid in a brick-like staggered pattern, with edges tightly butted together but not overlapping, and rolled with a lawn roller to ensure root-to-soil contact. Immediate deep watering is critical — the sod needs 1 inch of water daily for the first 7–10 days, then gradually tapering to normal watering schedules. Material costs range from $0.30 to $0.80 per square foot for common varieties (Kentucky bluegrass, Bermuda, fescue) and $0.55 to $1.00 for specialty grasses (Zoysia, St. Augustine). Professional installation including soil prep runs $1.00 to $2.50 per square foot. A typical 5,000 square foot lawn costs $5,000–$12,500 fully installed. Best timing varies by grass type: cool-season grasses (fall or early spring), warm-season grasses (late spring through summer).
