"Colin and his team did a great job in both the design and the installation. Lots of attention to detail in the placement of the plants and stones, and lots of attention to detail in professionally finishing and cleaning up. As my inevitable questions and changes came up, the team rolled with the punches and delivered just what we wanted. I'll use them again for another project."

"I requested a quote to remove a pine tree and large overgrown wild tree/bush on a Monday and Dale was out the next day to provide a quote.  I got 4 quotes total and his was $45 less than others and since he has great reviews here on AL, I chose A Better Tree & Landscape.  When I called to schedule I was told Dale would call me within a few days to let me know when I could get on the schedule.  Sure enough, he did call and I got scheduled for the following Tuesday.  It was very rainy on Tuesday and he called to let me know because of the rain it would be Wednesday.  I completely understood and appreciated the phone call.  They came on Wed and while he was here I asked for a quote to remove several wild trees that were growing in our existing wood fence.  Since we are replacing our fence this month, I would need him to come back and take those trees down and grind the stumps.  He surprised me by saying he could do it while he was there since that fence was coming down anyway he could get the trees out and get to the stumps.  He gave me a very reasonable price for the additional work and I agreed.  Both guys worked very hard until the job was done.  I walked the property with Dale afterward and everything looked great.  They hauled away everything they cut down and filled in and raked where the holes were from stump grinding.  Other than our lack of trees, you would never even know they were here it was cleaned up so well.  I will be using them again for future needs and would highly recommend.

"Jeff was great to work with.  His team was there on time and finished everything in a timely manner.  They did a great job and put sod in my backyard per my request which was additional work and cost, but they were willing to do it.  They also installed the trees and shrubs which looked fantastic.  I would highly recommend this company.

"It's a difficult area to control rainwater because of the size of the parking area.  They installed rip rap, edging and a drain to control the flow of water down a slope at the side of the garden.  This is an effective drain. In very heavy rain, there is still alot of water pouring through the drain, but Eathwood has relliably continued to monitor the area, and make improvements as needed.

"David and Nu Lok did a great job. We have original Pella dual pane windows in our 1957 mid-century modern ranch. The lower sashes in our living room had rotted after 50+ years of being at grade of the deck on the outside. These are floor to ceiling windows with a lower say and we did not want to replace them all as they were in good shape. After getting several quotes from other companies, none wanted to build new sashes- they wanted to replace the whole units with vinyl (yuck!). We then met with David at NuLook and he said "no problem!". Nu Look not only built exact copies of the original Pella sashes, they used the original glass as asked so they look exactly like they should. After approving Davids very reasonable estimate, his guys came out as scheduled to remove the sashes and install temporary plywood fillers. Within a week or so, they had new sashes made and replaced them and installed a new rot-resistant sill. After installing, they even color-matched and painted the interior an exterior. I'm an Architect, so I'm naturally really picky, and I was VERY impressed with these guys. We plan on having them do some additional work for us this year.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Charlottesville, IN

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.
