"I was very impressed with David's responsiveness and every member of his crew was a pleasure. They completely removed the kitchen floor (and several layers of subfloor) in my 100+ year-old home, made repairs to floor joists and installed new flooring that looks beautiful. It was an evolving project and I appreciated the team's flexibility and speed with which they completed the project."

"I am very happy with the work G+G Overhead Doors did for me. I had a 16'x8' garage door to be installed, but not yet picked out. They helped me through the whole process of narrowing down my decision on a door style/opener style. The door I had picked wasn't in stock in the warehouse which is no big deal, but he worked with me and we got a better door than I originally picked out that was in stock. and ready to be delivered, with a better R-Value. They were very prompt in letting me know of any updates, and they were also very professional. They have followed up since finishing the install to make sure everything is still up to par, which everything is working just as it was the day of installation. Overall, 5 stars I would highly recommend them for a garage door installation."

"Had a wonderful experience, the team was prompt, professional, extremely communicative, and efficient. They did everything we asked for, remove a dead tree, trim trees and shrubs around the perimeter of our yard, and trim a large tree in the center of our yard. I would highly recommend Christian Tree Service."

"It was a good experience. They did a good job and the driveway looks great. I'm hoping it lasts a long time and we will see over time. Ron was very nice to work with and was the first person I spoke to. The office staff was very respectful when I called. The work had to be postponed due to rain and there was a little lack of communication going back and forth during that time. When they initially tore out the old driveway and leveled it, they said they waited 3 weeks to do the new paving to allow it to settle. It ended up being 5 weeks in between these two steps due to the weather."

"I needed my gutters cleaned. They were horrible and had their own plants growing inside. I contacted two services from Angie's List and Dirk was the only one who got back to me. Excellent communication and not only did he say he could do my gutters (some of which are over 25 feet from the ground), but also said he could power wash my home (something else that needed to be done). Came by the house while I was at work and sized up the job. Estimate over the phone sounded reasonable.
Showed up exactly when he said he would. Very interesting guy; "intense," professional, and very detail oriented. I came home after he had just finished the gutters and was shocked because there was not a drop of dirt of filth anywhere to be seen. Started the power washing that day and worked till dark. He advised me of all the problems he noted while up high on my house and quoted me a fair price to fix them, e.g., loose gutter straps, trim nails that were popped, etc. He even bought and replaced the dryer vent after noticing it was rotted -- did not charge a dime extra for that.
Very happy with the quality of the work. I'm a perfectionist and I could not have asked for a better job.
Highly recommended. Also can do just about anything else your house might need, e.g., experienced landscaper and carpenter.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Goshen, CT

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.
