"Called for an estimate and the company came out and provided a free estimate for the spot I was looking to install a patio. Kyle provided a few options as I didn't know exactly what type of stone to go with. The estimate ended up coming in over $1k cheaper than the other companies. The job took a day to do and it was all coordinated over email because of my schedule. I just left the gate unlock. It looks great and is everything I imagined. I've gotten several compliments already. I would highly recommend company."

"Derek and his crew were amazing. When Derek and Amanda came out to give estimate they were very attentive, listened, gave suggestions and answered all questions. Brady and his crew laid the sod, which is beautiful, and gave us a fabulous garden wall and plants. They were wonderful and it looks amazing! We would definitely recommend G&G landscaping."

"Duane was out with his crew and mowed my 1/2 Acre yard. They spent time and gave attention to detail and everything came out right and the edges were nice and  tight. I recently had a tree cut down and they loaded 2 trailers full of branches and logs. I am very happy with the work done and I enjoy being a regular customer they always go above and beyond!"

"I’ve had several pavers throughout the years and I only wish I had hired Goode Paving first. If that had happened, I would never need to have a botched paving job repaired. Call Todd at Goode Paving because he we not only save you money, his crew will do an incredible job. My project was a repair. The previous paver installed a very thin layer in the area close to the garage and days after they left the problems developed. We suffered with mud coming through the blacktop when it rained, deep water puddles, cracked asphalt and a total mess. We learned about Goode Paving that has an incredible reputation with nothing but positive reviews. Check out my before and after photos to see how GOODE PAVING made it perfect!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Edgewood, MD

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.
