"Colin and his team did a great job in both the design and the installation. Lots of attention to detail in the placement of the plants and stones, and lots of attention to detail in professionally finishing and cleaning up. As my inevitable questions and changes came up, the team rolled with the punches and delivered just what we wanted. I'll use them again for another project."

"Put down new driveway stone, over 300 feet long. Installed river rock around the perimeter of our house. Removed leaves that had dropped over the winter. Cut grass for the first time this spring. A very nice and hard working family group did the work for Indy Work Landscaping. We are very happy with the results of hiring them. "

"Anthony did a good job, was very responsive to all my requests. He had to send his crew back two times because they did not check with us before leaving and there were some things left unfinished, but he sent them back and made a big effort to make sure we were happy at the end. My only small complaint is that we had to make sure the crew didn’t take shortcuts, they kept trying to get away with the minimum work and we had to keep pointing things that seemed very obvious, however, once we asked for them, they addressed them. Over all, it was a great experience and we will be going back to Anthony if we ever need help with any tree or landscaping."

"Please find a copy of the letter we sent to The Pool Shop, Plainfield, IN, upon completion of project, which took place in the fall of 2015 in the Fishers area.  <br /> We wanted to take time to write this letter to let you know how pleased we are with The Pool Shop and your customer-focused employees who helped make our recent pool installation a rewarding experience. <br /> Chris Ray led the project team for our pool installation.  We understand this was one of his first assignments as ?the lead.?  <br /> Chris was absolutely fantastic!   He was very communicative, responsive and he took the time to help us understand every step along the process.  We could see that he felt ownership to ensuring we were pleased with our decision to hire The Pool Shop ? always considering our needs first and helping us make the right decisions from design to finish.  He helped us consider all <br /> options and followed through with even the smallest details.  <br /> We also have to give high marks to your sub-contractor, Justin Grounds of Grounds Quality Lawn Care.  <br /> His vision and openness to listen to us ? even as things changed in the middle of the installation?was exceptional.  <br /> He created a backyard attraction that enhanced the pool and the landscaping, making our new recreational area a jaw dropping attraction.  <br /> Finally, we must complement The Pool Shop and Grounds for hiring great support crews.  Both teams worked very quickly and their attention to details were outstanding.  In addition, they were also very friendly and considerate.  The professionalism they <br /> displayed represented both companies extremely well ? adding to even more satisfaction we experienced during the installation.  <br />   <br /> Spring is just around the corner.  We look forward to attending Pool School and enjoying our new backyard experience next season. <br /> Thank you again for a great experience!  We?ll be sure to post the highest ratings on Angie?s List. <br />"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Greenwood, IN

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.
