Family owned business with over 8 years of experience handling Drain Pipe Installation - Exterior- Excavating - Remodeling-

"Initially it started off very well. We wanted a large pond put in that was not an eye sore and would serve our livestock. I wish there was a little more guidance and recommendations as we don't know the ins and outs of pond building. Initial test holes were dug which confirmed the project was possible and would hold water. There was no communication with the well installation team to ensure appropriate water flow into the pond. Once that was figured out the pond only holds about 1/3 of water with a well running 24/7. Reached back out to Alec see if we could troubleshoot the issue and get it fixed. Informed Alec that we were more than happy to pay more but just wanted a finished product. We planned a date and now haven't heard from him in over 1 month. Multiple texts and phone calls with no response. The communication is the most frustrating part about this whole project. Would not use this contractor again even though the big expensive hole in the ground we have is "pretty"."

COST IS DETERMINED BY THE JOB. TRAVEL CHARGES APPLY. NO SERVICE CHARGES. NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR AFTER HOURS SERVICE. LICENSE# PC 89100149. Also Central Indianas Best Water Line And Sewer Lkine installers ,, APPROVED BY INDIANA AMERICAN WATER CO./RESOURCES EMERGENCY SERVICE PROVIDER

"Called at 8:15 am and never received a call back until 13:26. For a company that advertises they are available 24 hours a day seems a bit slow to respond in my opinion. I have called back twice since then only to get voicemail and no answer or response. No a good way to run a business in my opinion. So the next day I get a call from them and explain my frustration in being able to reach anyone and the guy says well “they stay really busy with their commercial side of the business and generate over 4 million dollars a year.” Who cares? When I as a residential customer has a problem and I am looking to hire a company to fix my problem, I don’t care how much commercial business they have or don’t have! I told him I already got it fixed by another company and then he began questioning me what company I used, how much they charged, what was the issue, how deep did they dig, and what kind of material did they use to fix it which in my opinion is NONE of their business! If they treat residential customers this way because they make 4 million a year with commercial businesses, then why do they even advertise residential services? Pathetic way of doing business in my opinion! I would not spend a dime with this company!"

Sod installations FAQs

Seeding is less expensive up front compared to sod installation. However, sod provides an instant lawn with minimal maintenance, while seeded lawns require extended care and can take up to two years to fully establish.

“To determine how much sod you need, first calculate your yard’s total area by sketching your layout and multiplying each section’s length by its width. Standard sod pieces measure 2 feet by 1½ feet, and one pallet covers 450 square feet. Divide your total square footage by this pallet coverage figure and consult your sod provider for precise estimates to ensure you purchase the correct amount.”

“New sod develops a strong root system within 10 to 14 days, so it is not ready for heavy use until this period is complete. Do not walk on or disturb the sod during this critical phase, as premature activity delays healthy rooting. Allow the grass to settle firmly to secure long-term lawn durability.”

“You can begin limited, careful use of your lawn two weeks after installation to allow initial rooting. However, refrain from heavy traffic or frequent mowing until six weeks have passed and the roots have fully anchored the sod. Consistent watering during this period is essential to promote robust development and long-term stability.”

“After installation, monitor your sod closely for balanced color and uniform moisture. Watch for brown patches or uneven growth, as these indicate dehydration or nutrient deficiencies. Maintaining a steady watering schedule and ensuring the sod remains undisturbed during its early stages are essential steps to guarantee robust root development and a healthy, attractive lawn.”

“The best time to install sod is during spring or fall. These seasons offer optimal temperatures and moisture levels that ensure rapid rooting and strong establishment. Avoid installing sod in winter when the ground is frozen or in summer when extreme heat can dehydrate the grass, as proper conditions are critical for a durable lawn.”
