"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!"

"I couldn’t be happier with the work done by Gutierrez Lawn Maintenance. We recently had them tackle a major backyard overhaul that included a full drainage solution, fresh soil, and new sod. The results are incredible and it feels like a completely different yard! They offered a very fair price and the quality of the installation was top-notch. If you’re looking for a team that is professional and delivers exactly what they promise, I highly recommend them."

"Gerardo provided us with a quote for a portion of our backyard which was very muddy and swampy. He recommended a drainage system which he and his crew installed. they did an excellent job inserting drainages, pipes and sodding most of that area. now when it rains water does not collect there but flows well. we're happy with his work. That portion was completed. however, there is still sodding to be put on in another area. We would recommend Gerardo to others."

"I’ve had difficulty finding someone to make repairs to my existing irrigation system. Everyone wants to install but not do repairs when a valve breaks or head needs replaced or there is a leak - seems to be a real shortage in the Hickory region of people who will do irrigation repairs. That was my problem until we found Austin with 828 Landscape. He is professional, a good communicator and is totally about finding the problem and fixing it. I almost hesitate to post this review because then he’ll get too busy to work on my system when I need him."

"We have hired George Daniels and his son at New Beginings Landscaping to do a lot of work for us over the past 15 years. They do outstanding work, are always on time and always go above and beyond to provide outstanding customer service. They recently planted 4 10 foot Nellie Stevens Hollies, 2 Camellias, a number of encore azaleas as well as a number of foundation plantings around our new patio. They also remulched our backyard natural areas. I would not hire anyone else for landscaping work. They are a pleasure to work with and never disappoint.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Denver, 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.
