"All work was done in a timely manner and when they said it would be done. Everyone was respectful and kind. Pricing is competitive. Installation was finished 3/21 and we have had no issues. Both gates function as they should and the dogs are so happy with their space."

Customers say: Quick response

"We had several large pine trees, infested with pine beetles that had died and some had actually snapped in half. I saw many logs stacked up around the Wildewood golf course, so I asked management who they were using to clean up the diseased trees on the golf course. They highly recommended Jason Cowan of LTD Landscaping because he was professional, trustworthy and had a good crew. Well, I called Jason and he showed up on time and made some very helpful suggestions. He sent me an estimate and it was thorough. Now, I know no one enjoys paying to have dead trees removed, but Jason and the crew spent two days removing about 6 dead trees and a. great deal of debris and hauled it away. I was so impressed by their work ethic, that I decided to hire LTC Landscaping to regularly groom my yard. This is a big step for me because I am a Master Gardener and have always taken care of my own yard."

"Brody laid and spread topsoil and placed new sod in our backyard. He is a excellent worker and does a great job. He is so easy to work with. He is friendly and expert in his knowledge. It was a pleasure working with Brody and I would highly recommend him to anyone wishing to work with a reputable company."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Elgin, SC

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.
