"Carlos and his staff provided us with top service regarding our sod installation. He was knowledgeable and did not hesitate to provide ideas regarding the arrangement and materials that would be most suitable in beautifying our yard. My husband and I met with several landscaping companies, however Carlos stood out as it was evident that he sought to do a job that was pleasing to the customer and operate his business with integrity which is a rare find these days. My neighbors have been raving about Carlos and his team's work and character. I look forward to working with him again in the future."

"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!"

"Jose did an installation of my irrigation system and also fine tuned the sprinkler heads. He was reasonably priced and did a great job. After a few weeks, I had to fine tune the sprinkler heads. He initially assisted me over the phone and also visited the house next day to do the tuning. I’d confidently recommend Jose to others who are in need of the landscaping services."

"We hired Mills Landscaping two different times recently. The first time was to cut down a few trees and have the stump removed. They did such an amazing job that I decided I need a few more things done. They came back and installed a border along my front my house for my plants and added some more gravel stones to my fire pit area. They also cleaned up the weeds which I hate doing! I highly recommend Mills Landscaping as they not only do an amazing job but they are extremely affordable!"

"Gerardo provided us with a quote for a portion of our backyard which was very muddy and swampy. He recommended a drainage system which he and his crew installed. they did an excellent job inserting drainages, pipes and sodding most of that area. now when it rains water does not collect there but flows well. we're happy with his work. That portion was completed. however, there is still sodding to be put on in another area. We would recommend Gerardo to others."

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.
