"We opted for sod installation versus restoration/seeding. However, I would have selected ATD for the restoration under different circumstances. Anthony was prompt and informative."

"It was a very fair quote; we're just not moving forward with the project right now.  The cost was $600.  That was for removing the old grass, putting in fresh dirt to build up the property; it's actually two properties that are side-by-side, and then they were going to put in sod.  So it was about $600 for the sod price and about half that for grass seed and straw.  Their price was actually on the lower end compared to a couple of other quotes I've gotten - or at least one other quote I've gotten.  For quality, just in attentiveness, the service, they were like with me in like scheduling but then like I want to say a day. Let's go with A, but you know that's based on just meeting the guy and receiving a quote, not actually having the work performed.  For professionalism, he showed up and he looked like a gardener, he spoke like a gardener; I'll give him an A.  I mean, there wasn't any like cursing or anything like that, and that's always a plus.  I hope to hire them in the future; we have another project come up that's actually a little bit more useful than leveling a yard out, if you know what I mean."

"The estimate was reasonable, the installation was completed in a day and per schedule, and the crew did an excellent job of cleaning up after the install. I am quite happy with the job, with only a minor issue with a couple of pieces of pressure treated lumber that were warped or visibly chipped. All in all a great experience."

"It new addition looks great. I could not be happier with the look, the installation, and the project cost. The job was completed with no mess. I am happy with the project. The installation team picked a great stone that goes with our home's look. Thanks for a great job."

"Jaime and his crew did an excellent job laying the sod and setting up a sprinkling system to make sure the grass was watered enough to take root. They did an enormous amount of work in one day for a very fair price. Will definitely work with them again!"

"As a rule, I don't write reviews. Had to make an exception this time. Outdoor Advantage is outstanding. The crew reduced the eroding slopes adjacent to two driveways and placed sod. Placed four fairly mature flowering shrubs into large planters. One week later, and both sod and plants are thriving. The advice I received as to how to manage my needs was terrific. Great "plant knowledge". They patched up a bare spot not in the original work order. Thorough clean-up. "A+" all around."

"I hired Baumann's Lawn and Landscape to fix my front lawn. The soil was mostly clay and sand and covered in weeds. They killed and removed all the vegetation, tilled the soil, brought in new topsoil, conditioned/fertilized, and then laid sod. The crew was fast, efficient, polite, and did an amazing job (hopefully this site allows me to upload photos after writing this). The work was done in 3 separate days and took less than 2 weeks from the initial phone call to the finished installation. The price is what you would expect for this level of work and that much sod (sod is not cheap). They're not over-priced but it's not Bob's discount landscaping either. You'll get your money's worth for your project. Baumann's will be my #1 choice for future landscape projects."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Glenwood, MD

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.
