"We had a small project to install a patio in an established garden area that was already paved in field stone. Gerry and his crew was able to fit our project in between his larger projects for the summer. They installed a rustic bluestone patio that complemented the existing aesthetic of the garden. Came out exactly how we had envisioned and then some. Not only that but they kept us appraised of their timeline, showed up when they said they would, and were very flexible when we added other small jobs to the project. Looking forward to working with them on future projects!"

"

Said they would do clean up, left a lot of debris around the house

Said they could do shingles siding but really didn't know what they were doing - when I saw the job and asked them to redo much of it because it was not level or inline with the rest of the house. 

Thought they would make it good, but rushed through fixing the issues - then never heard from them again.

"My husband, Jeff, and I are so happy with the work Bryant did for us removing 5 very large trees that were leaning towards our home and VERY close as well. He was professional, friendly, courteous and listened to our needs. He removed the trees and left our yard in perfect condition (my husband and I can't stop looking at the yard as it looks better than before Bryant started). You can't even tell (except for the stumps we wanted left) we've had trees removed! AMAZING JOB DONE?"

FAQs for sod installation projects in East-Boothbay, ME

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.
