"They did an excellent job. They removed the frame, laid sod where the mound had been leveled, and spread grass seed adjacent to the sidewalk blocks. I would hire them again and I would highly recommend them."

"Please find a copy of the letter we sent to The Pool Shop, Plainfield, IN, upon completion of project, which took place in the fall of 2015 in the Fishers area. 
We wanted to take time to write this letter to let you know how pleased we are with The Pool Shop and your customer-focused employees who helped make our recent pool installation a rewarding experience.
Chris Ray led the project team for our pool installation.  We understand this was one of his first assignments as ?the lead.? 
Chris was absolutely fantastic!   He was very communicative, responsive and he took the time to help us understand every step along the process.  We could see that he felt ownership to ensuring we were pleased with our decision to hire The Pool Shop ? always considering our needs first and helping us make the right decisions from design to finish.  He helped us consider all
options and followed through with even the smallest details. 
We also have to give high marks to your sub-contractor, Justin Grounds of Grounds Quality Lawn Care. 
His vision and openness to listen to us ? even as things changed in the middle of the installation?was exceptional. 
He created a backyard attraction that enhanced the pool and the landscaping, making our new recreational area a jaw dropping attraction. 
Finally, we must complement The Pool Shop and Grounds for hiring great support crews.  Both teams worked very quickly and their attention to details were outstanding.  In addition, they were also very friendly and considerate.  The professionalism they
displayed represented both companies extremely well ? adding to even more satisfaction we experienced during the installation. 
 
Spring is just around the corner.  We look forward to attending Pool School and enjoying our new backyard experience next season.
Thank you again for a great experience!  We?ll be sure to post the highest ratings on Angie?s List.

"I requested a quote to remove a pine tree and large overgrown wild tree/bush on a Monday and Dale was out the next day to provide a quote.  I got 4 quotes total and his was $45 less than others and since he has great reviews here on AL, I chose A Better Tree & Landscape.  When I called to schedule I was told Dale would call me within a few days to let me know when I could get on the schedule.  Sure enough, he did call and I got scheduled for the following Tuesday.  It was very rainy on Tuesday and he called to let me know because of the rain it would be Wednesday.  I completely understood and appreciated the phone call.  They came on Wed and while he was here I asked for a quote to remove several wild trees that were growing in our existing wood fence.  Since we are replacing our fence this month, I would need him to come back and take those trees down and grind the stumps.  He surprised me by saying he could do it while he was there since that fence was coming down anyway he could get the trees out and get to the stumps.  He gave me a very reasonable price for the additional work and I agreed.  Both guys worked very hard until the job was done.  I walked the property with Dale afterward and everything looked great.  They hauled away everything they cut down and filled in and raked where the holes were from stump grinding.  Other than our lack of trees, you would never even know they were here it was cleaned up so well.  I will be using them again for future needs and would highly recommend.

"Very well.  The Landscape designer is professional, kind and very knowledgable.  Worked the plan around my likings...cut flowers, colors and deer tolerant plantings.  During installation the head of the team was professional, clean and kept me informed during the whole day of planting.  Everything except a bit of ground cover did not make the winter.  Ground cover is being replanted in June free of charge.  Recommend booking your spring clean up early as the company schedule is very busy. Highly recommend this company!

FAQs for sod installation projects in Eminence, IN

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.
