"After waiting 3 weeks for the original installer of my irrigation system to help me, with no appointment in site, I turned to Angie's List. Brandon of Aairic's Irrigation and Sod Works came to my home the very next day, and within 30 minutes he and his team had my system working perfectly. That was 3 days ago, and now my landscape looks vibrant again. I will definitely call Brandon again when needed."

"Dylan Gordon was a polite young man with a good getting attitude. His price was far and his timing impeccable. My driveway looked like it had been freshly paved with just one wash! I highly recommend Dillys Farm!"

"Awesome job!!! I called several HVAC companies before contacting Cody. Cody explained all the technical aspects of my issue and even defined the technical terms I didn’t know on the initial call. Not only did he help me understand my problem more clearer and help guide me down the various routes I could take to remedy them, he quoted me almost 50% lower than most companies. After agreeing to the service, he was able to perform the service the following day to restore my AC. Upon arrival with his crew, I asked him how long did he think it would take. He said an hour. It took 1 hour for him to install my new AC. After a week of guys trying to rip me off, Cody and his crew reconfirmed my faith in honest service. I absolutely would use them again and would refer them to anyone needing any kind of service. Excellent service. Very professional. More than anything, HONEST!!! A++ if I could rate it. They should be the ones you call if you need HVAC work!!!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Elberton, 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.
