"Andrew and PGL were fantastic! They installed a large travertine patio in my backyard, with a built in BBQ in December. His crew was the same people everyday, and did a marvelous job. I highly recommend this company. Andrew was a pleasure to do business with as well. Thank you!"

"We had a retaining wall installed when we had a pool put in 5yrs ago. The wall was sinking and was not serving its purpose. We had YYY&D come and gave us a quote which was similar to the 3 other received. We decided to use him and so happy we did! He removed our current wall and was able to reuse all the stone to rebuild. He reconstructed our retaining wall to do what is was supposed to do 5 yrs ago. They were prompt, reliable, friendly and had respect for our property. Neat and cleaned up and did a wonderful job! I highly recommend and I would use them again. Thank you!"

Matt has a creative eye and only does work with the highest quality. He helped me design and then install terracing in my backyard. I could not have asked for a better outcome. The workmanship is outstanding and of the highest quality and value. I 100% recommend Matt to anyone looking for an honest and talented artisan."

"Jose was very professional in every way. Did an excellent job, even corrected problem caused by previous installer. Went out of his way to be helpful by going to home store to pick up brown mulch which he installed. I also called him in a critical situation where I needed my lawn cut due to coming rain. He drove over and cut for it me even though it was late in the day. We are now hiring him for other work around the house. AAA rating"

"Orean and Michelle worked tirelessly to abate a drainage problem in my backyard. In addition they built a happy place shed and completely relandscaped my backyard, including installing a drip line watering system. So far this spring, they have added many new plants and mulch all around my yard. Michelle has great design abilities, and even though it took over a year to complete, I am very pleased with their work and proud to show their work off. I plan to continue to use their services as a work in progress."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Indian Trail, NC

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.
