"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!!"

"Stephen and his team did an outstanding job of installing sod in our backyard. He was punctual for appointments we made and executed what we discussed during our initial meeting. He was available to answer questions during my decision-making process to choose a provider for the job. Once they started, the team worked fast and efficiently to complete the job. I would heartily recommend Stephen and his crew for sod installation based on my experience with Seasons Yard Care."

"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!"

"No he did not get the work done right! He was not a man of his word! He did not come back to finish the job Have not seen or heard from Ethan since he got his last payment from me. Tried to change the price on me while doing the job! Just a bad experience with this company! Would not answer my calls or texts after he was paid for the job!"

"I had Prestige’s Landscape, owned by Horace, come to install grass, and I couldn’t be happier. Horace personally walked me through the process, offering helpful design and landscaping ideas that turned out perfect. He was very responsive and quickly addressed any concerns I had. The crew was professional and efficient. I highly recommend Horace with Prestige’s Landscaping Group for outstanding service and quality!"

"They were priced fairly. They came on time they described what they would have to do very clear instructions and did a great job. The yard looks fantastic and they did a great job cleaning up afterwards. I would definitely hire them again for landscape upgrades."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Cartersville, 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.
