Floratam is a sun grass. Re-sodding those areas with the same variety restarts the same failure, the fix is matching the replacement to the light the yard has today. That's the core of how we approach installation: honest variety selection among St. Augustine cultivars, Zoysia, and Bahia, real soil preparation on Central Florida sand, and tight seams laid the day the sod arrives. New sod is perishable freight, scheduling around the farm delivery matters as much as the install itself. ## Local Details for Orlando Under the oaks of Azalea Park, full sod replacement often makes less sense than a hybrid plan, shade-tolerant St. Augustine varieties in the brighter zones, mulched beds where sunlight can't support turf at all. Out toward Boggy Creek, the picture flips: open, sun-blasted lots where Floratam or Bahia establishes readily if the sandy grade is prepped and irrigation reaches every corner. Spring and early-summer installs root fastest here, riding the rainy season; winter installs work too but establish slowly. ## What's Included - Site preparation and old lawn removal (if needed) - Soil grading and preparation - Premium Florida-grown sod installation - Initial watering and establishment care - Post-installation care instructions and follow-up ## Pricing in Orlando | Plan | Price | | --- | --- | | Weekly Service | $43/visit (Early Summer Special, 5% off; regular $45/visit) | | Every 10 Days | $48/visit (Early Summer Special, 8% off; regular $52/visit) | | Bi-Weekly Service | $50/visit (Early Summer Special, 10% off; regular $55/visit) | Every visit includes mowing, edging, string trimming, and blow-off.

Shade-tolerant St. Augustine cultivars such as Seville, Palmetto, or CitraBlue hold up far better under partial canopy than Floratam. But no turfgrass thrives on four hours of dappled light or less, under the densest oaks in Conway or Azalea Park, the honest answer is often a mulched bed instead of another round of sod. ### How do watering restrictions apply to freshly laid sod? Local watering rules generally include an establishment allowance that permits more frequent irrigation for new sod during its first weeks, the phase when roots need daily moisture. We leave every installation with a written watering schedule that steps down from establishment frequency to the normal restricted days as the lawn knits in. ### What's the best season for sod installation here? Late spring through early summer is fastest, warm soil plus the rainy season means aggressive rooting with less irrigation burden. Sod can go down any month in Central Florida, though; winter installations simply establish more slowly and lean entirely on the sprinkler system. Availability from the farms matters as much as the calendar. ### When can new sod be mowed for the first time? Once it resists a gentle tug, typically two to three weeks after installation, when roots have knitted into the soil. That first cut should be on the tall side with a sharp blade, and foot and mower traffic before then should stay minimal. We'll walk you through the transition back to a normal schedule. ## Neighborhoods Served Southeast Orlando, Azalea Park, Conway, Belle Isle, Vista East, Boggy Creek, Taft, Sky Lake ## Related Pages - Sod Installation (all areas): https://provlawncare.com/services/sod-installation - Orlando, FL overview: https://provlawncare.com/service-areas/orlando-fl ## Contact - Phone: (407) 594-7622 (+1-407-594-7622) - Email: info@provlawncare.com - Free estimate: https://provlawncare.com/get-estimate - Website: https://provlawncare.com ## Canonical Source This document is a machine-readable summary.
