"Nelson and his crew did an incredible job. I had a general idea and color scheme and he came up with a great solution. He was also very accommodating for the extra work I asked (and paid) for"

"This is our third project with D&D and I expect they'll be our default for all future landscaping projects. Paul Doherty personally specs out each job and manages the project. The workers are professional, attentive to detail and unceasingly polite and friendly. Our most recent job hit a snag when the fencing that D&D had included in the estimate was unavailable because of damage from late-winter snowstorms. No problem: the workers built a fence for us instead. The change in plans probably added two days to the planned schedule, but there were no complaints, no griping about additional cost and no changes to the final price. Having dealt with many contractors over the years, I've come to appreciate how rare it is when they show up on time, complete the job to spec and charge what they say they will charge. D&D Mulch hits on every critical point. I highly recommend them."

"We had a very large pine tree at the front corner of our lot that was looming over the house and street. The real problem with the tree was its roots had broken up the basement floor (which was too thin to begin with) over the years, and the previous owners hadn't done much to deal with it. We contacted 4-5 contractors to get estimates. We ended up going with Tree Tech because they were working on a reality show and our job was going to be subsidized by the production company that was doing the show. (We saved 40-50% this way, which is why I put an asterisk on the price.) What should've been a 4-hour job turned into an all-day affair, but only because of the production. The Tree Tech guys very professional as they took down our massive tree at the corner of a side street and the main street, dealing with a police detail, passing cars, curious onlookers, the production crew, and rainy conditions. They used a crane to remove each section of the tree and lower it to the ground, where two other guys removed limbs and fed them into a chipper powered by biodiesel. At the end of the day most of the debris had been swept up and carted away, and all that was left of the tree was a three-foot-wide stump. A few weeks later a subcontractor came by to grind the stump. I used a lot of the grindings as mulch around the front of our house and left the rest to settle into the depression where the stump had been. I appreciated that Andy didn't send us an invoice until after the stump was gone, and we didn't have to pay any money up front, though that may have been an unusual circumstance due to the TV production. All in all, it was an interesting experience and I would definitely hire Tree Tech again.

"I was looking for someone to install a cabinet and microwave. I was referred to Total Asset Solutions. They were quick to respond when I contacted them and had someone out for a quote the next day. Within 2 days of my first call, my cabinet was up and the microwave installed. They went out of their way to make sure they could fit me in before starting another job! They were professional, friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. I have several more projects to do and will definitely be calling them back."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Forestdale, RI

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.
