"I wanted my front patio redone. Patrick quoted the job and gave great suggestions to alternative solutions. He and his crew worked on a weekend due to weather and did a fantastic job. The quality of work is top notch. It was not the lowest quote that I got, but I feel that I got what I paid for which is premium work and he is very easy to communicate with. I watched the work as it progressed and there were things he considered that I never would have as a DYI person. I have a few other jobs to be done and I definitely plan to hire Patrick and his crew at Turf Tech."

"The entire process was quick and professional. The two day prep and pour began on the date scheduled. The pricing for our large project was very reasonable. The foreman communicated the project plan clearly and stayed in contact with us through the process. We look forward to having M&G come back when we are ready to replace more of our driveway. 5 star company!!"

"Very professional. Preston's employees are true craftsman. Very detailed and precise. They tore down my old decks and builder one large deck in its place. Their work was so professionally done in both the tear down and the new build. My next door neighbor even told me, after everything was complete, that she barely heard them working. Preston was very involved and came by regularly to make sure the work was going smoothly and to go over any details we might need. We love our new large deck. Thank you Preston, thank you Maestro! "

"As I observed his attention to detail with my driveway and backyard grading, I became more and more pleased with my decision to use Warren & his team! I was really impressed with Warren's attention to detail in every phase of my project. As I watched him grading, for example... he just kept grading until it met with his satisfaction... which exceeded mine; and my standards are very high!!! NOW... my backyard looks like a golf course!! Warren and his team are incredible. IF your job requires the BEST work - then give them a call!!!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Canton, 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.
