""I have mixed feelings about my experience with Magic Landscaping. Marvin is a really nice guy and clearly knows his craft. He talked me into some additional work which he completed to a high standard, though the final cost ended up being higher than I initially expected to pay. However, the primary project I hired him for?the one that was my top priority?remains unfinished months later. I?ve called numerous times; when he does answer, he promises to stop by but never shows up. It?s been so long without a follow-up that I?ve simply stopped calling. I?m disappointed that despite being a 'good guy,' the reliability and commitment to the original job just aren?t there. I?d love to see this finished, but the lack of communication makes it hard to recommend for major projects.""

"I don’t normally write reviews, but they deserve as many stars as they can get. The whole experience was amazing dealing with them. Davin the owner came out and did the estimate using satellite and was able to give me an exact sqft, and sent me the drawing mapped out, and said he wanted me to have an exact number in case I wanted to call some other companies to get quotes. I had a few delays with closing on the house and he was able to adjust the schedule without any hassle and no kind of pushback. They worked extremely fast, almost had a 2 day job knocked out in 1 day. I had them lay 35 pallets of sod to finish my backyard on a new build. At no extra cost, they fixed all the mistakes that the contractors made laying the sod during the building process, and then rerolled my entire yard, even the sod they didn’t lay. After they were finished, one of the leads noticed my yard had a spot that was holding water (no fault of theirs), and came back for free to fix my yard to drain properly."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Covington, 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.
