"Searched Google for a sod installer for my backyard that was in need of serious help due to main sewer line being replaced and swingset removed. Joe came out and took a look and some measurements. I got my estimate a couple days later due since he came late on Friday to accommodate my schedule. I emailed and was able to get scheduled same week before the Easter holiday I was hosting. Guys were amazing! They were prompt coming early in the morning. They filled the street with all the necessary equipment and got everything unloaded and got to work right away. It was only a few hours and everything was done. The yard looks incredible! My neighbors came over to inspect and were impressed as well. Before and after photos!!"

"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."

"In late fall, I noticed that a piece of a stone wall abutting my driveway had broken off and was drifting into the driveway. Concerned that the wall would fall into the driveway, I contacted Quinn Brothers Masonry. They came out within two days, assessed the situation and gave me an estimate. The work involved taking down both walls, knocking off old mortar on the stones, and removing ivy. After the walls were taken down, protective covering was placed on the exposed dirt, and drainage pipes and gravel were installed. They then rebuilt the walls, using the original stones. While rebuilding the walls, Patrick Quinn advised me that my stone house foundation had been compromised by paint and old mortar. I authorized additional work to restore the foundation. The paint on the stone foundation was removed and the old mortar was taken out. Then, the entire foundation had new mortar installed. I am extremely pleased with the results and will definitely hire them again."

"After I claimed this deal, the company called me within a day and were able to schedule the job almost immediately. The crew came right on time and were able to clean up some overgrown ivy in my front yard, clean up some overgrown weeds in my back yard and trimmed some holly bushes on the side of my house. After the job was done, my exterior just looked great, and ready for Spring! Please note, the job was for 8 man-hours; the crew of 4 arrived and completed the task in 2 hours. After the job, they also hauled away all of the debris. I would definitely hire them again on a regular basis, but they generally only work in Delaware state, and will only do the occasional job in Delaware County."

"I consulted with Paul regarding a severe slope in the backyard of a home I am purchasing. He took great care to explain what my options are with the yard, and gave me some rough estimates on what it would cost to implement the various solutions. He was very responsive and patient, answering my many (probably stupid) questions easily, happily, and in layman's terms. He spoke with me on the phone for about 45 minutes actually. This in addition to going to the time he spent looking at the yard and evaluating its stability, comparing it to the neighbors', and looking for details that might indicate anything potentially dangerous. Details that I would never think of, like the condition of the driveways. Luckily he didn't find anything too bad. Other than a yard that needs a pretty big investment to make it really nice. But that's not his fault, and he even gave me ideas on how to minimize costs.
After speaking with Paul, I asked a couple of engineers at my job what they thought of my situation, and they said the same things Paul did. His evaluation was spot on. In addition, he was a genuinely nice guy. We traded stories about our kids and he gave me some excellent advice. I'm saving up to use him in the future and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs to do work in their yard.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Brookhaven, 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.
