"Stephen was very late in giving me my invoices for the last 3 months, and when I finally did receive it (after I already paid him), I found he had overcharged me. He started out doing very well last year, but for the last three months, heâ s charged me for mowing 2 vacant lot 6 times each, but the grass was knee-high, on one of the properties, when I got a call about how high it was, so he wasnâ t really knowing the property. The work was not being supervised, but I shouldnâ t have had to."

"We contacted Pierce L. Shallis Landscaping after doing some research and reading online reviews. We needed landscape remediation as water was building up in the front side of our house (during heavy rain) and wanted a new flower bed as well. I contacted them and they got back to me right away. Pierce came out to take a look and after talking to him, I was confident he had the expertise to do the work. To no surprise, he and his crew did a fantastic job. I defaulted to his opinion about what plants would look great in the flower bed. My only request was a small Japanese maple. The communication was great from start to finish. I would highly recommend this company to anyone as they are both knowledgeable and professional. When hiring Pierce L. Shallis, you will have peace of mind that they will get the job done right."

Roger Summers Lawn Care started initially when Roger was 15 years old. Roger's mother would drop him off at his customers with a push mower and come back to pick him up when he was done. After Roger graduated high school he purchased his first truck and continued growing his business. Today we have the capabilities of completing a small residential tree pruning job to one of our biggest jobs which was clearing a thirty acre proposed development site. Our lawn mowing capabilities range from one acre to fifteen acres and we handle residential and commercial snow removal as well. Call us today for a free estimate!

"It did not happen since Roger Summers did not return my two phone calls to them with messages. Also, they ignored an email I sent to request a quote. I am puzzled how some of these businesses survive when they blatantly ignore what have to be opportunities for work. Needless to say, we will not try to contact them again and we will steer friends and neighbors away from using them. It is hard enough to get service work done without having to follow up multiple times for a simple quote."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Bear, DE

Seeding costs less up front, but you’ll wait months—and sometimes a full season—for the grass to fill in. Sod costs more per square foot, yet it gives you an instant, usable lawn the day it’s installed and needs far less care during the first year. 

If speed and early curb appeal matter, the higher sod price is often worth it; if you’re watching every dollar and don’t mind the wait, seed can still be a smart play.

Start by sketching your lawn and breaking it into rectangles or circles. Measure each section, multiply length by width, and then add all the sections together for the total square footage. Standard sod rolls are two feet by 1.5 feet, and one pallet covers 450 square feet. 

Divide your total area by 450 to see how many pallets you need, then round up—extras come in handy for cutting around curves or mistakes. Still unsure? A local sod supplier or installer can confirm your math before you order.

Most sod grips the soil within 10 to 14 days. During that stretch, keep foot traffic to a minimum and mow only if the grass gets tall. After two weeks, the roots should be strong enough for light use, but wait six weeks before heavy play or frequent mowing. Giving the grass that short honeymoon helps it anchor firmly and sets the stage for a durable, healthy lawn.

Give your new lawn two full weeks before any foot traffic, then stick to light use only. Hold off on vigorous play, parties, or regular mowing until the six-week mark so the roots can dig deep. Keep watering on schedule and watch for any dry patches. A little patience now means stronger turf and fewer repairs later.

Keep an eye on color, moisture, and even growth. Fresh sod should stay uniformly green; brown spots or gaps hint at dry soil or poor contact. Water deeply at least once a day for the first week (more in hot weather) and back off gradually after the roots take. Avoid heavy foot traffic until the grass feels firmly anchored. Quick attention to trouble spots now prevents costly patches later.

Aim for spring or early fall when daytime temps hover between 55°F and 80°F. Mild weather and consistent moisture help the roots knit quickly. Laying sod in midsummer can stress the grass, while frozen winter soil blocks rooting altogether. 

If you must install outside the ideal window, budget extra time for watering and tending to the turf. Choosing the right season makes the job easier and the lawn tougher.
