"Trent and Matt installed an irrigation sprinkler system and 5 tree installation. I am continuing with them for landscape maintenance. From start to finish I received a professional job. The quote was reasonable and I believe was well worth what I paid. Nice people to work with."

"The shower was to be repaired and painted and the floor of the garage was to be Epoxy , walls, ceiling painted The second installment for the project was to be paid when these two items was completed and signed off. On July the 24,2024 I asked to test paint the rooms the new color just to make sure the color would be okay for what I picked out. Nigel agreed to pick up the paint and to test paint before the project was given the green light in an effort to keep the project on track for time. At this time is when I made a comment about the repair in the bathroom did not match the rest of the shower as I felt he was going to paint the complete shower as we had spoken in the past about the repair would not match and I wanted it to match. This is when nines are fresh that I would have to pay more to have the shower pain and he was charging me for the paint samples. I told him to proceed and we would resolve after everything passed inspection. I gave Nigel a pass on the inspection of the floor and to start the rest of the house but the was still problems with the floor. Hi, you said if wants the floor dry if that was any issues, he would take care of it, but it was only because the floor wasn’t dry yet that I was seeing what I saw. Nigel stated he could not paint the garage because the floor was wet and he would take care of it when he was doing the rest of the house and I agreed. On July 28, and then on an express several times about the floor having issues as well as he had the bathroom door locked, and I could not really look at the bathroom shower when it was being done. July 28 I agreed to pay extra fees that he was charging on the first of the month after I got a chance to look at the floor after being dry. I also agree for him to go ahead and start the rest of the house and he picked up the paint on the very next day, July 29. . The same day I made the second payment of three payments for the deposit for him to start the rest of the project and he had picked up the paint to start painting. On August 1 2024 Nigel demanded payment for the floor in the garage and the bathroom shower even though the task has not been completed or he would not start the rest of the household for what she had the second installment of payment to start. This point we had a back-and-forth I sent him the money and told him that this was crazy that we would probably have to end up in court if he did not finish the job and finish it correctly. We had a couple more back-and-forth and he decided that he would take my calls and he would come and complete the job but he wanted to if he wanted to, as we had no contract for his work"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Geneva, GA

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.
