"The Smart Home features they installed, such as thermostat and door locks, etc. do not always work. For example, the Honeywell thermostat can no longer be operated from our phones and is difficult to install. Remote door locks are also unpredictable."

"We had a terrible experience with Perfect Pools. After a 2 year process of building the pool, we felt that it was losing water. We let them know and we’re answered with “it’s evaporation”. It wasn’t, there a pipe blown under the pool. Of course they claim not their fault but several other contractors and engineers believe it’s been there for a very long time. The finger pointing is just ridiculous. Our original texts to them about water loss seem to indicate the same. They did not coordinate effectively with our hardscaoer and 4 years in this very expensive disaster we sit with a cracked infinity wall that they removed tile from that they agreed to fix almost a year ago. They ripped up patio tiles and railing that now is a danger to our kids and guests, the infinity edge has never been level, the spillovers just pour water on the patio and the pump blew after 2 years and had to be replaced. The deck jets have all blown twice (there’s a filter for deck jets that apparently we don’t have) and what we really want at this point is a safe, working pool. Cannot get them back to finish the work. No returned texts and their voicemail is full. Must be too much to ask after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. Wound give them a negative rating if we could."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Huntingdon, PA

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.
