"When I called Kevin to request a consultation, I was at my wit's end with a continuing yard drainage problem. I had obtained lots of input and multiple proposals from other sources, but I just wasn't convinced that those approaches were going to solve the problem to my satisfaction. After speaking with Kevin, it was easy for me to place my trust in him to see this project through. During the consultation phase, Kevin took the time to listen to all of my concerns, look at pictures and videos of the mess in my yard, and explain what he would suggest and why. He provided me with a proposal just a few hours after our meeting, and he answered my follow-up questions promptly. My husband and I decided to hire his company to install a drain with several catch basins and "branches" across the length of our backyard, to place another drain just outside our crawlspace door, to extend two downspouts further from our home, to create a swaile to help direct the flow of water away from the side of the house, and to core plug/add topsoil/seed/fertilize/straw in an effort to have a yard instead of a mud pit. (We have subsequently also purchased two trees from Kevin; his crew just delivered and installed those as well.) When his crew arrived to begin working, they were courteous and knowledgeable. Kevin visited the worksite frequently, and he and his crew leader kept me updated about the status of the project. They all continually went the extra mile to answer my questions, provide great care instructions for the new grass and trees, and do what they could to help me address watering issues. After it rained like crazy earlier this week, Kevin and his guys showed up (without my even having to ask) to tend to the new grass seed and rehab it after the storm. It is clear to me that Kevin takes pride in his company's work, and he has shown ownership over this project. I feel reassured knowing that, if I call with questions or concerns, he will be responsive and helpful. I'm looking forward to working with Kevin James Landscape for some (hopefully more fun!) projects in the future, and I recommend them highly."

"Andrew and PGL were fantastic! They installed a large travertine patio in my backyard, with a built in BBQ in December. His crew was the same people everyday, and did a marvelous job. I highly recommend this company. Andrew was a pleasure to do business with as well. Thank you!"

"We had a retaining wall installed when we had a pool put in 5yrs ago. The wall was sinking and was not serving its purpose. We had YYY&D come and gave us a quote which was similar to the 3 other received. We decided to use him and so happy we did! He removed our current wall and was able to reuse all the stone to rebuild. He reconstructed our retaining wall to do what is was supposed to do 5 yrs ago. They were prompt, reliable, friendly and had respect for our property. Neat and cleaned up and did a wonderful job! I highly recommend and I would use them again. Thank you!"

"The work was done exactly on schedule. The cost was lower than other companies quoted. I am not sure the spray coverage is as good as it can be, but I can tweak that as I go. Maybe not as knowledgeable as the the big companies, but the basics were covered at way less than the big companies charge."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Concord, NC

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.
