"The team at Diphillipo’s were great. The price was very reasonable and they were professional from start to finish. The men that came to work on our back yard did a really amazing job and it did not take long at all. We love how are backyard turned out and would call them again without a doubt."

"Excellent! I can't say enough good things about this project. We live in a 1920 Dutch Colonial, our walkway was falling apart. Miguel gave us samples to look at that would match our front Brick porch. The brickyard he sent us to allowed us to bring samples home to compare. He ordered what we wanted and within 4 days began the project. He came early in the morning and stayed well into the evening and completed the job in 2 days from demolition and removal of the old walk to the installation of the new one. He seeded the lawn that edged it. We selected him because he a patio and driveway and walkway for our nextdoor neighbors. We've lived here since 1974 and people trust the contractors we use. We highly recommend him and we always like to hire local owner operated businesses. For an additional fee he planted 2 trees in the front of the house. We are very satisfied."

"Been trying to find a contractor since january 2020, every rain lost sleep, finally found someone who understands roofing and the concept of proper flashing I can sleep now , the work was impeccable I work for a major commercial builder in NJ. Could have had one of the companies that work for me repair this. I needed someone I thought could work on my custom stone home Built by my uncle, the stone work on this home cannot be replicated, Every stone on the house was hand cut by my uncle, took him 4 years to do the stone work, I had hand full of contractors show up and never heard from again, contacted the big companies on Angie's list to be told not interested want to do full roof install, Then I met ozzy was reluctant to use due to amount of time on Angie's with so few reviews, but I read every one of these reviews and felt there is a man who works with intergerty, I finally met him Felt comfortable he was the company I needed hired him It was a very complicated repair ,and was done efficiently and properly The crew worked at a nice pace not rushing to leave, took their Tim with the details that cause leaks , end of the day When they were gone you never knew they were there roof and area cleaner than when they arrived. Its a shame this company has so few reviews . I will recommend, will use again, If you want your job done and done correctly go no further I been building for 35+ years and know how its done correctly. The damage to this house was caused by z sub that worked for me 20 years ago, and did not listen to how I wanted the flashing Done, to busy to do correctly and rushing to go home You need it done hire omr he is on the job and his crew know how to function as a team Couldn't be happier next storm I won't be worrying"

"Chris and his two sons did an amazing job on remodeling my basement into a playroom for my twin boys. They were very sweet, made me feel comfortable and also were very good with my two toddler boys. The moment they came to my house to do an estimate, i felt very comfortable around them and they were very friendly and threw out ideas on the remodel, like lighting and other ideas. They finished the job in less than 30 days (which was the timeline given) and they were very patient with me when i had changed my mind on certain things. Chris even played with my boys and had conversations with me, so I felt like they were more family than strangers working on my house. They did an excellent job on the remodel and everything turned out better than I had envisioned it. They were always on time and always cleaned up each day after they were done. I will be using them again for future remodels and i'm very pleased with the job they did. Thank you again CM Contracting!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Bethlehem, PA

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.
