"Mike did a great job in a timely manner. I am very pleased with my beautiful Zoysia Zeon sod around my pool. The installation was efficiently done that only a true professional could have achieved. I would recommend Mike and his company not only because of how good he is, but how personable he is. I think of him as a friend who cares about his customers and his staff. He is top notch!"

"The initial contact and estimate were great. We had some communication issues- we were given a date for install, but when we called that morning, no one knew what was going on. However, we finally talked to Billy,the owner, and were able to work out all details. The project was started 2 days later, there was an issue with sod, but that was handled well and communicated. The project was completed in a timely matter and my yard looks great. I would definitely recommend Appalachian Lanndscape!"

"It went great. Floyd's crew disassembled the tree we wanted removed without harming any of the other trees around it. They sectioned it and took it away. They also ground a dozen stumps from trees I had previous felled. All in all, a great c

"The job entailed:
(1) removing old, beat up Bermuda grass;
(2) leveling out the back yard (removing an ineffective swale which rendered the yard difficult to walk in);
(3) removing prior stone walled garden areas - without damaging the plants;
(4) laying out the wall - this took us a while, with Scott patiently repositioning stones an inch or two to create a wall line that is aesthetically pleasing;
(5) installing a drain system behind the wall, and packing it with clean, black dirt ($600 worth of it!);
(6) capping off the wall with decorative stones, which were glued down for stability - creating extra seating in the garden;
(7) laying sod - gorgeous, thick, premium fescue cut to precise bed lines;
(8) repositioning existing sprinkler heads to provide coverage to the garden above the wall;
(9) trenching bed lines in the large front yard (which has healthy, but invasive, Bermuda grass) and refreshing the pine straw mulch at the bed lines throughout the yard;
(10) cleaning up the job site.
In just under a week, Ground Cover transformed a sad-looking yard into a place we enjoy inviting friends. I love looking out the kitchen window to see the graceful curves of the wall, and I look forward to filling the new easy-access garden with plants.
Summary: The first thing I appreciate about Scott is that he takes the time to consult with the homeowner on the  best plan for the job: when to schedule it, what materials to use, how to arrange for deliveries at just the right time, etc. The second thing I appreciate about Scott is that he follows through on his plan, consults when there are new decisions to be made, takes great care not to damage existing structures (like our underground sprinkler system) and brings talented, hard workers to do the job. We've hired Ground Cover before, so we were confident hiring them for this much larger job."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Bowdon-junction, GA

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.
