At Hollyhock Acres Landscape, we offer both grass seeding and sod installation—each with its own advantages.

Seeding is ideal for homeowners looking for a cost-effective approach and long-term root development.

Sod provides instant green coverage and immediate curb appeal.

We’ll assess your soil, drainage, and sun exposure to help you choose the best fit for your property and budget.

For Wisconsin homeowners, the sweet spot for seeding is spring (April–June) and late summer to early fall (August–October)—when soil is warm but air temps are cooler.

Sod can be installed over a wider range of months, but it still requires consistent watering in the first few weeks to take root properly.

That depends on the method used:

Seed: Light foot traffic after about 3–4 weeks; first mow once blades reach roughly 3–4 inches.

Sod: Light foot traffic after 10–14 days; first mow around 2–3 weeks once the sod has knitted firmly into the soil.

We’ll leave you with clear after-care instructions so your new lawn establishes smoothly.

Pricing can vary based on yard size, grading needs, access, soil conditions, and whether you choose seed or sod. Optional services like topsoil delivery, straw blankets, or edging can also affect cost. We always provide detailed, line-item quotes so you know exactly what’s included before work begins.

While we don’t provide ongoing mowing or fertilization services, we do supply simple watering and care guidelines to help you get the best results during those first few weeks after installation.
