"Chisum and his team have gone above and beyond to transform our backyard. We moved into our newly built home in May of 2020 and have had a mostly unusable backyard until now. Chisum responded to my online inquiry on the same day and was out for a visit shortly after to discuss how to install a retaining wall to level the poor grade our home builder left us with. Bond Site Solutions has regraded our backyard, installed a 70ft+ engineered retaining wall, built a paver patio with fire pit, paver trash can area & paver grill area and installed zoysia sod. They've also installed a lighting package to highlight all the beautiful hardscaping. His quotes have all been very competitive and proved to be accurate. We are now enjoying 75% more usable space. His crew is professional and on time. They have not showed up late once, and have only missed days due to weather. The work has all been done the right way. Highly recommend and have already done so to neighbors and family."

"Jeff was more than happy to come out to look at what I wanted done. Right before he left I was told I'd have a quote today. The quote I got just said I'm out of his service area. If you don't want to do the job just be upfront about it. Update as of 02/23/2021: After some miscommunication between Jeff Kale, his office & myself we got sorted & I went ahead & let them do the job. The guys came out yesterday to rip out the garden that was put in place by the previous owner & had them install a flagstone extension to my patio & I couldn't be happier with the results. I feel like I beat him up pretty good in my earlier review & this update was more than earned/warranted/justified. I'll want to finish off the lawn probably later in the fall. Being I just bought the house (and having to buy everything that comes along with buying a new home) I just didn't have the budget to do it all right now. I'll make sure to reach out to Jeff & his team again when that time comes."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Let us start with the conclusion: Kevin James Landscape (KJL) did an AMAZING job. We HIGHLY recommend them. Our property needed a complete makeover due to aging, original landscaping and water intrusion in the crawlspace. KJL developed a beautiful plan for our yard. They thoroughly removed the old landscaping, including properly finishing the tree stump removal that a nationally-known firm left incomplete and concealed. KJL expertly regraded our property for good drainage and flow. They diligently solved water issues on the turf and from AC drains. KJL created big, beautiful flower beds, enriched with lots of new soil that they brought in. They also used timbers and stones to make attractive enclosures for our AC condensers and utilities. KJL is deeply experienced. Their crews were exceptional in that they NEVER cut corners. All work was done thoroughly with detail and quality. Our neighbors have been very complimentary of KJL's work and asked for KJL to do work on their properties. We're already planning our next project with KJL. We're very pleased with their work."

"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!"

"Jose was amazing! He came over many times to go over my backyard design and measure and take the time to really listen to what I wanted. He built my fence, all the irrigation, sod and pine straw. He’s super easy to work with, he’s funny and whenever I had a question, he would come over. He checked in with me to see how my yard was doing or if I had questions often. His team was a pleasure as well. I would recommend him to anyone and he’s someone you can rely on. I will definitely be using him for other projects."

"Jose did an installation of my irrigation system and also fine tuned the sprinkler heads. He was reasonably priced and did a great job. After a few weeks, I had to fine tune the sprinkler heads. He initially assisted me over the phone and also visited the house next day to do the tuning. I’d confidently recommend Jose to others who are in need of the landscaping services."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Davidson, 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.
