Two to three weeks with proper watering. Water twice a day for the first ten days, then taper off. Spring and fall installs root faster than mid-summer heat.

One pallet, which covers about 450 square feet. Most Fort Lauderdale residential orders run 1 to 6 pallets. Larger commercial and HOA orders are common too.

Both. You can take pallet delivery and install yourself, or book our installation crew for ground prep, grading, laying, and post install care instructions. Add installation when you call.

Yes. Las Olas Isles, Rio Vista, Coral Ridge, and Harbor Beach all sit on canals connected to the Intracoastal Waterway. Brackish water in the canals plus salt-air spray means you need salt tolerant grass. Floratam St. Augustine handles moderate salt and is the network default. Empire Zoysia and Bermuda are picks for direct seawall lots. Centipede struggles in canal front salt zones.

Victoria Park, Sailboat Bend, and Tarpon River are the historic bungalow districts with mature oak and royal poinciana canopies. Palmetto or Seville St. Augustine fits dappled shade better than Floratam. For deep canopy areas, Floratam thins out and Bermuda fails entirely. Send a yard photo with your quote request and we will recommend the right cultivar.

Established sod usually survives hurricane wind. Saltwater storm surge, common on coastal Broward lots and along the Intracoastal, kills most sod within hours. Hurricane Wilma in 2005 and Irma in 2017 both reshaped Fort Lauderdale landscaping. After saltwater inundation, plan to re-sod the affected area. We prioritize hurricane-recovery jobs on the Fort Lauderdale route after named storms hit South Florida.

Yes. Zone 10b Fort Lauderdale grows grass actively year round, which means watering, mowing, and fertilization run all twelve months. Floratam needs about 1 inch of water per week, more during dry winter weeks. Rocky alkaline soil drains fast in some Broward lots; established sod still depends on consistent irrigation. Year round growth also means year round sod-replacement opportunity, which is why we run Broward routes throughout the dry season.

Most upscale Fort Lauderdale HOAs accept Floratam St. Augustine, Empire Zoysia, and Bermuda. Coral Ridge, Harbor Beach, Rio Vista, Las Olas Isles, and Bay Colony typically specify Floratam or Empire Zoysia for the manicured residential look. Bahia is usually restricted in master-planned communities. Tell us your HOA when you call and we will match you to a cultivar that complies.
