"I have been trying to obtain a refund for work not done from June and July 2025 and have disputed the charge with the bank. I am owed half the monthly cost for June and 100% for July which was charged to my card but service was never performed. I have an acknowledgement email from the merchant a refund was forthcoming dated July 1st but the refund was never issued hence a dispute. "

"Adam, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say thank you for seeding my lawn. You and your crew were very professional, courteous, friendly, and extremely helpful. From clearing off the leaves, which you did not have to do, to cleaning the driveway as you were moving your equipment, you showed how service should be provided. I was not inconvenienced in the slightest. I have used many contractors in the past who have sometimes left things worse than when they started. I did not have to clean, move, or fix anything after your team left, which is usually the case with other contractors. I also feel that the price for the service provided was extremely reasonable, and I thank you for that too. I have owned more than 10 houses in 40 years; I have never had such a quality and professional experience. I am looking forward to seeing the result come spring, I am sure my grass will look great. If I ever need landscaping work done in the future, you will be my first call. "

"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!!"

"I cannot express enough how happy and impressed I was with Hector and team! I hired another landscaper to install a dry garden but had no idea what he was doing. A week (and thousands of dollars) later I knew he was struggling because nothing seemed done so I started looking for a different landscaper. Hector was quick to respond and came to the house on the same day. He gave me his initial thoughts and the estimate came the following day. He and his crew had the bulk of the work done in a day and went the extra mile to add finishing touches that improved on what I was envisioning. The end result was someth even better than I envisioned. He also cleaned up all the fallen leaves (unfortunately that’s a daily struggle as you can tell in the pictures)."

"Ken and his team are AWESOME!!!!! If there was an option for 20 star rating they would get it! There are no words to describe the amazing work they did in our backyard this weekend. We had over 30 trees that we needed to be remove due to pine beetles and Ken came out gave us an estimate which was better than anyone we had out. His day rate price was reasonable and affordable. They worked for hours with a smile and the team were great to have around. Our yard looks more than AMAZING, it looks SPECTACULAR :) They are people we would hire again to do more work in our lot. We are excited to get out there this summer, play in our huge yard safely thanks to Woodchuck. Thank you guys really an awesome job WELL DONE!"

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.
