"Professional from the start. Landscape Guys met me at my property within a couple days of my initial phone call and easily identified my issue. I was provided with recommendations, quote and availability for install within one day of meeting at my job site. The project install was handled with care and each day they cleaned up after the day was done. I couldn’t believe how the team just kept working in the heat. They took very little breaks and stayed late on day one to ensure they would be able to finish on day two. If you want a professional team to work with look no further than Landscape Guys. They are reliable and do great work. I would highly recommend them for any landscape needs around Huntsville, AL."

"Had an initial consultation with their customer service consultant about a month before project was started.  The consultant was very easy to talk to and I felt like he wanted to understand what we wanted to accomplish.  He also seemed to have a lot of knowledge about drainage issues, so we felt like we were in good hands.  The plan was drawn out and we agreed on the work to be done.  The work team came in on the appointed week and got the job done in good time.  There was a minor misunderstanding of the location for the collector grate based on a nuance in the plan sketch drawn up by the consultant.  After we pointed it out, the crew re-worked the trenches and got the collector grate where the sketch had it placed.  They did an excellent job and we are happy with the work they did.  We will look them up again next time we need landscaping work done.
{Update 3/8/13}
 While we were very happy with the work done at the time of project completion, our evaluation changed after the first rainstorm we had.  The pop up emitter was about a half inch higher than the grate collector by the sidewalk, so all the rain from the gutters was flowing out of the grate right by the house and the pop up emitter in the middle of the yard wasn't emitting anything.  The sales rep was very responsive, came out,  and agreed with the problem.  He said we could submit a warranty request through the website.  In all fairness, I did not contact them.  If I did, I still could not give an excellent review because we paid good money for a solution that did not meet best practices the first time.  The installation instructions for the pop up emitter said a 1 percent grade must be accounted for.  If they had just shot the pipe towards a valley in the yard, the requisite 5 inch drop could be achieved with the linear feet of pipe I paid for.   I was also told by the sales rep that to cut the curb and run the drainage to the street would cost  $500 for a permit from the city.  Found out that was not the case from talking to the city.  With a little more technical training of their staff, I feel the value they provide could be much better than it turned out for us."

"Jake took out a tree, regraded the whole back yard (we have narrow side yards and Jake was the only landscaper we called who said he could get equipment back there without going through the neighbors yard and tearing out part of the fence). He put in a pretty rock border, redesigned a flower bed and put in Zoysia sod that everyone else said was too hard to get. And he even fixed the sprinkler system! He was very professional, prompt, and hard-working. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will call him again when we decide to put in that flagstone patio!!"

"I almost did not use service because of quoted price. Really really glad I went ahead with cleaning. Grill is like new after 3 hours of cleaning. Burners were especially needing attention. Work is done on tarp so there is no mess left behind. Highly recommend this service."

"John has both repaired and installed irrigation systems in my yard. He is hard working and knows what he is doing. He has always done a great job for us, so we keep calling him whenever we need irrigation work done. I would not hesitate to refer him to friends, in fact I already have."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Falkville, AL

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.
