"I have an invasive weed Garlic Mustard that suddenly appeared in April and also the common buck thorn in my back trees. I was told I had to pay cash and they would not take a check. They would also not come to do any estimate on how many guys and hours I would need to do the job; I had to guess. I ended up having them come two times: first 4 guys for 8 hours; second time 2 guys for 4 hours (per the guess of the first leader for how long and what I'd need the second time). They still did not complete the job. The first crew of guys were better than the second crew of guys. They were college guys, some working hard, some walking and working slowly and on their phones. However, I'm suffering cancer and could not take care of the job, thus had to get someone to control the spread. Thankfully, they did get most of the job done for me. Whether the Garlic Mustard was pulled out by the root, time will tell. The first crew used shovels and got the buck thorn pulled out pretty good; the second crew just cut the buck thorn off. Although I had informed Eric Pfeffer about the invasive weed and explained how it would spread on boots and tools, procedures were followed by some of the guys and not by others. They did not seem to be familiar with working with an invasive weed. Both crews arrived on time, but stopped work 45 min before end time to pick up tools, but also both left the job site (unfinished) a good 20-30 minutes early. Eric communicated via email pretty good after the initial "canned" email response. In their survey, they ask to rate the guys - if you expect this, they need to have their names on their shirts or give you their names. I am unsure, I may or may not hire again."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Fargo, ND
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.
